Olympic gymnast Danell Leyva might be focused this week on winning gold in London, but according to the New York Times, he has already set his sights on performing on a different stage. He told NYT: "I want to do musicals, acting, Broadway, everything."
Day 1 of the 2012 London Olympic Games begins tomorrow with an expected head-to-head showdown between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte in primetime on NBC, as they contend for the gold in the men's 400 meter individual medley. Phelps' and Lochte's qualifying heats will air on NBC live (ET/CT) beginning at 5 a.m.
The road to the London Olympics continues this weekend when NBC presents coverage of the Visa Championships live from St. Louis, Mo. Results of the Visa Championships will determine who qualifies to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials Gymnastics competition in San Jose, Calif., airing later this month on NBC and NBC Sports Network.
