I can't remember ever taking a real interest in the Olympic games! Other than the odd race here and there years ago in the summer holidays when there was nothing else on TV. But other than that I never even knew there was sailing, boxing and even football involved! I suppose I just thought it was track events - a bit like a big school sports day really...

So to get quite caught up in it this year was a bit of a shock! I've even been watching in the mornings when I'm getting ready for work! and catching up on the day's events. What's even more of a shock is that we're (at the time of writing) now 3rd in the medals table!!! and have won the most gold medals sine 1920.

(I don't think they look quite as good as we do in the lycra though!)

I'm feeling very proud of all our athletes! and feeling even better about being ahead of the aussies! :) Lets just hope it stays that way!

I doubt very much whether we can top Beijing's opening ceremony when we host the games in 2012! It will be interesting to see what our guys come up with. But medal wise - I reckon we'll be on top form! Until then lets keep our fingers crossed for team GB
