Title: Olympics
Post by: badger on August 12, 2012, 10:01:38 AM
What would be your highlight of the games or as there are so many would it be impossible to call ?

From the opening ceromony to tonights finale it has been amazing,as long as they dont wheel out Macca for Hey Jude   ;) According to the London Standard Ray Davies of the Kinks is due to sing Waterloo sunset so that would be a bonus.

Our highlights of many-  Jessica Ennis,  Sir Chris Hoy, and Mo Farah    :)

Can't disagree with your choices Geoff

I would add Laura Trott and Nicola Adams - so bubbly and infectious - with great stories  ;D

Hoi Badge I'd have thought that the highlight of the games would be the crowd singing 'We're forever blowing bubbles' at the first West Ham home game after they become the lodgers in Olympic Stadium next year  ;)

Loved Mo, loved Jessica and Nichola Adams. Loved all the medal winners actually. But for me "the moment" was the two ladies (names escape me sorry) who won in the rowing, the ones where we lip read one of them saying "We've won the Olympics" or similar after they crossed the line. It was one of the first golds - possibly the first? - and I was lucky enough to watch it live. Very exciting.

For us, the lady rowers, Victoria Pendleton, Chris Hoy, Laura Trot, Nichola Adams & Andy Murray, stand out, but all the medal winners have done us proud.  There is a definite 'feel good factor' about at the moment and that makes such a change for us - given that all we get from our tv news is mostly depressing stuff.  What a shame the mens relay team always seem to muff it - other teams manage to transfer the baton why can't ours.  All in all a great Olympics.
