It's been an incredible summer of sport and a great celebration of being British! As the people sitting next to us at the Olympics water polo said, "We got it right!" The park, the ambiance and of course the sport itself! It also needs to be said that we hardly ever a found a queue for the loo and we never had to queue very long (if at all) to buy a drink.Well done, Seb and your team.
Earlier this week Oscar Pistorius made headlines for his comments about Olivera's blades but later on he apologised. Yesterday, in the 100 metres, although he only managed 4th place, he was the first to congratulate the winner, our own Jonnie Peacock, and in his post-race interview he was clearly pleased for Jonnie and said it was a blessing he himself had been able to come 4th.
Sadly those actions and remarks didn't hit the headlines, but that's the way of the news media.
For those of us fortunate to have been able to attend the Olympics and/or Paralympics, we must be grateful to G4S. Because of their inability to provide the manpower they had been contracted to do, troops were moved in. We met them as we went through security and they were polite, friendly and efficient.
What would it have been like if G4S had done it? I leave you to imagine.
