London 2012 - Olympics fever! Team GB!

Olympics fever in London for the London 2012 Olympics! The games are finally in London! Can't believe it! I remember when the bid was won in 2005, it feels like yesterday. Anyway, unfortunately I didn't get tickets for any of the events but the atmosphere in the UK was electric, even through the television which is where I saw most of the events :-)

Team GB was fantastic! Coming third on the medals table after USA and China (who are always at the top of the table). Mo Farah (MOBOT - gold winner of 5000m and 10000m), Jessica Ennis (Heptathlon gold winner), Andy Murray (finally beating Roger Federer in the final to win gold which was played at Wimbledon), Sir Chris Hoy etc.

The unforgettable moments at the Olympics were Usain Bolt - the Legend - who won gold at the 100m and 200m sprints and the 4x100m relay, and also Michael Phelps who is the most decorated Olympian of all-time with 22 medals and 18 gold medals in swimming (now retired).

The Paralympics are underway and Team GB is doing well once again! Woohoo!
