Jonathon Gatehouse and Charlie Gillis–two of the three Maclean’s staffers we’ve sent to London to cover the Olympics–are sports-reporting veterans. And that includes the Games: this will be Jonathon’s fifth and Gillis’s second time covering them. Before they left for London, I asked them a few questions about what it’s like reporting on the biggest sporting event in the world.
