The Olympics and Paralympics in London
were amazing!
I’ve enjoyed watching all the sports, my
favourite being the Athletics! There were so many phenomenal performances and inspirational
results, especially Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Usain Bolt, Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins,
Louis Smith, Beth Tweddle, Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins, Jonnie Peacock,
David Weir and too many others to mention! Well done Team GB.
Fortunately, I was one of the lucky ones
in successfully getting tickets to watch the Games. We went to see an afternoon
of Artistic Gymnastics: Men’s Rings, Women’s Uneven Bars and Men’s Vault.
It was fantastic! The first competition
to take place - the rings – the strength these guys have is just unbelievable.
It was a surprise win for the Brazilian gymnast Arthur Nabarrete Zanetti, who
took the title from the favourite, Chinese gymnast Yibing Chen. A Brazilian
strong crowd almost lifted the roof of the stadium off!!

Great day at the Olympics! Just wish we
could’ve seen some more!!
