Olympics 2008 looking to 2012

So we are coming to the end of the Olympics and what a time it has been. GB have scored a total of 47 medals, 19 of them being Gold which we should be very proud of!
The Swimming, Cycling, Rowing, and Sailing being our best and it was great to be a part of it by watching them! Ok, so I did spend most of these two weeks infront of the TV, but hey, I don't watch much TV anyway! hehe.
I was glad to see justice served today. If it wasn't for an appeal by Team GB and the video and press evidence, Sarah would not have gone through to the semi-final, which, on the basis of watching the match, she deserved to win. Although the decsision was turned around, and she did get to the Semi-final and did not win, at least the appeal was heard and the right winner, won. I think that events such as Tai Kwon Do should have video evidence put into the game, because it would just make things a lot easier.
They have it installed in Tennis, and if on seeing a race in the athletics back, someone has say, run off their lane, then they can be disqualified. Therefore, because of the technology we have at present, we should take advantage of it to be used. So the events of today concerning Sarah, will probably initiate thinking into how tai kwon do will move on from this. Right thats a little rant out that way hehe!

Just one thing that I think the GB team do need to work on is the track and field. We didnt really do at all well in these competitions and we just need to get better!

But yes, I do love the Olympics. I have done ever since I was little. It is such a great idea to have so many countries competing and I look forward to the Games coming here! I just hope we do it proud...
I'm definitely going to book those two weeks off and go and watch some of the events...in particular I think the Swimming and the Cycling in the Velodrome. I'd also like to see some of the Gymnastics, Diving and Synchronized Swimming, as well as track and field. These have to be my favourite events. I just can't wait til 2012, Its so exciting!!!

Hey maybe if I get some training in, I could compete haha! What a golden opportunity though for athletes to compete and it just is extra special when it comes to your home country.

Looking towards tomorrow, it is the closing ceremony. I missed the Opening Ceremony, and if that was a show-stopper, then I am definitely looking forward to tomorrows. I especially look forward to the change over from China to Great Britain, and with two fantastic dance companies performing - I am soooo excited! CandoCo and ZooNation will do us proud. They are awesome companies, which I have had the pleasure of watching and it is just so brilliant that they get to be involved in the games and perform! Awesome!!!!
