Here at Maclean's, we appreciate the written word. And we appreciate you, the reader. We are always looking for ways to create a better user experience for you and wanted to try out a new functionality that provides you with a reading experience in which the words and fonts take centre stage. We believe you'll appreciate the clean, white layout as you read our feature articles. But we don't want to force it on you and it's completely optional. Click "View in Clean Reading Mode" on any article if you want to try it out. Once there, you can click "Go back to regular view" at the top or bottom of the article to return to the regular layout.
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.
