London Olympics: Daily dose of David Beckham

Share via

LONDON -- David Beckham, the world’s commuting global icon, materialized at the Olympic Games’ BMX venue with his sons on Friday.

He is everywhere, always, it seems.

(Hey, the London Olympics trump those run-of-the-mill Galaxy training sessions at Home Depot Center in Carson.)

He showed up at the beach volleyball venue to watch the all-American women’s final on Wednesday night, which was won by Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings.

There should be a Beckham Alert at every venue.

Beware to any athletes sitting within camera range of Beckham. Prepare to be photographed and become immediately talbloid-ized.

That’s what happened to British cyclists Laura Trott and Jason Kenny. They were sitting one row behind Beckham at beach volleyball and had an affectionate moment.

Hello, tabloid road kill.

Kidding aside, the cameras and Beckham have a nice arrangement going in London, one of those relationships that keeps on giving.
