David Beckham: A twist of disappointment and glory at the London Olympics


David Beckham
British footballer player David Beckham who was dropped out of the Great Britain football team for the 2012 Olympics in London, weeks before the games commenced has found a source of pride in his omission.
The veteran beamed with joy and pride as he participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympics as part of the entourage for lightening the Cauldron for the Opening Ceremony held in his home-town of London on Saturday, July 27, 2012.
Beckham was spotted in a driven speedboat with the flame on board, down the River Thames to the Olympic Stadium.
Beckham alongside Mohammed Ali were amongst the Olympic ambassadors, a role he seems to be contended with.
According to Telegraph reports dated Tuesday July 31, 2012, Coach Stuart Pearce stated that Beckham was omitted on the basis of age.
