Super Saturday & Sunday!

Saturday was hyped up to be ‘the’ day of the Olympics for Great Britain, but it turned into a winning weekend for our sportsmen and women!

The best thing was not just the number of medals we won, but the diversity of sports – cycling, swimming, rowing, sailing and gymnastics, and the number of double medallists, Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins and Rebecca Adlington won two gold medals each and Ben Ainslie picking up his third gold in as many Games- the Sports Personality of the year will be a tough one this year!

My overseas vote though is for Michael Phelps closely followed by Usain Bolt! What a 100m final...I haven’t seen anyone win by that much for a long long time – there was no dipping for the photo finish needed there! Part of me was a little bit disappointed that Bolt didn’t ‘run through the line’ so we could see exactly how fast he can go, but I know it was more about the victory than the times.

I am eagerly awaiting the results for the next six days!!
