Re: London 2012 summer olympics.

thats a big part of these olympics inspiring the next generation.

to think before the games started there where al these concerns the british public would not embrace the games.

well we have.
venues have been packed out.

even in the morning sessons in the olympic stadium have been packed out which ive not seen happen at other games.

for me the legacy of these games is very important.


you look at the few summer games the main olympic stadiums have been left to rot.

this wil not be allowed to have to these olympics.

a lot of these brit athletes get no or little funding and yet they still train very very hard.

only the top ones het big money.

as seb coe has said its not so much about how many medals britain win its about its legacy and having iconic moments that when you think of these games you wil remember those iconic moments.

I'm loving the Olympics and we are hopefully going to see is a whole new generation of kids inspired by some genuine role models (who have worked damned hard for years to get their rewards) rather than 'celebrities' and footballers. With the Uk being one of the most unhealthiest countries in Europe, this is the best thing that come from the Oympics.

I've really be enjoying it so far, especially the results in events we normally don't do too well in.

I find it all boring, sorry but I really hate how GB overdoes all saluting to these sportsmen and women when they win - and then they get honors in the Queens New Years List...it just turns my stomach. Also I just think the whole things a waste of money - it could have been spent on far better things like the deficit or Public Services which really need the cash - just another example of how that corrupt Blair did things - wasting money, he was after all in power when the bid was made / announced....

I'm loving the whole thing, and dread it being over. Our athletes are such an inspiration - even to achieve the Olympic qualifying standard is amazing, let alone win a medal - of any colour It's also nice to have some good news for a change instead of the usual depressing fodder.

Jess Ennis is amazing - so chuffed for her, she's so grounded and down-to-earth, but what about those performances by Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford last night too? What a night!!! But big-up to all our champions - and indeed to all our athletes and competitors - we're proud of you xxx

Also, can't help but feel a bit emotional about Michael Phelps retiring after so many outstanding performances - a true hero.

Well what a great day for britain at the olympics.

my personal highlight was hessica ennis winning heptathlon gold.

ive supported her for many yrs.

another thing i love is they play the chariots of fire theme at the medal presentations.
