Trying To Keep Up
Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 06:39 pmWell it seems Team GB can't stop winning medals, we're now up to 22. Instead of writing up summaries here I'm adding pics of all medallists to my Tumblr - http://124daisies.tumblr.com.
It hasn't all gone our way, of course - there have been a few where Team GB had been favourites and either not quite got there, or missed by a mile. It's been a bit sad too that Australia haven't had the Olympics they usually do, they've just got a third gold with Anna Meares beating Victoria Pendleton.
I'm thinking of writing up a summary at the end for DW/LJ. But it's been so nice to have a few experiences of hearing vast crowds sing along with the national anthem during the medal ceremonies, I remember when Cathy Freeman won gold in Sydney and everyone sang Advance Australia Fair so loudly & proudly, I wondered if that would ever happen in Britain.
