I have many memories from Barcelona, from Freddy Mercury belting out his fantastic tune to the divers leaping into the outdoor pool with the city in the background.

I went to Barcelona around 2004 and visited the Olympic village and stadium but was quite sad to see that it looked like it wasnt used much any more. It was very quiet and is so out of the way of the rest of the city.

Chris Broadman's effortless looking win in the cycling was another highlight.

yes the stadium is not really used now which is sad as it could have been a great memorial to the games.

yes chris boardmans gold was a real higlight as well as this one although memorable in a different way.
