You Can Add An Opening Ceremony Performer To Your List Of Philadelphia Olympians

According to The Inquirer, Philadelphia’s Evan Schiff (who has been living in London for a few years) will be taking part in the Danny Boyle-directed Olympic opening ceremonies tomorrow. He’s been rehearsing for the ceremony for months, but had to keep secret agent-level quiet about it. Yes, we know he’s not technically an Olympian, but ever since China amazed us and scared the shit out of us at the same time with the 2008 opening ceremonies, we’ll consider him an Olympian in our minds.
