"...Around The Rings has long been the most influential internet presence on the Olympics." - The Guardian, February 4, 2010

“Required reading in the Olympic Movement.”  That's what our readers say about Around the Rings, and with good reason.

For more than 20 years, Ed Hula and his team of correspondents have been on the scene of virtually every important event on the Olympic calendar. From the selection of every host city since 1990 to IOC votes on changing the sport program to multiple visits to assess cities' bids, Around the Rings is there.
