Olympics

I confess I was somewhat underwhelmed by the impending Olympics, the long build up and hype and the interminable countdown to the games had left me wishing it had already finished and then......
The Opening Ceremony (which I wasn't going to watch) started and that point on I have been captivated, handball, volleyball, weightlifting, rowing,gymnastics etc. and then CYCLING (I am a pedal biker!) unfortunate Cavendish, Armstead and then Wiggins and Froome fantastic. It does make you proud to be British. 
Veladrome....... what a venue and what a triumph (thus far) Hoy, Kenny, Pendleton and team pursuit men and women, breaking world records and blowing the rest away!
Then the Athletics slowly crept in, Ennis started on the Friday she went well and finished the evening in the lead. Saturday, who knew! What an evening, magic, Ennis completed her wonderful heptathlon, Rutherford won the long jump and finally Mo Farrah, brilliantly wins the 10,000 metres.
Do not think I am ignoring all the other British medal winners, congratulations to all of them (all countries medal winners). The effort and dedication shown by ALL competitors from every country is amazing and I, like most of the world, have no conception of the hours of training that are performed in order to even get to the games.
It has been enthralling and there is still a week to go and more moments of human endeavor to excite us further!
