Mo Farah strikes again.

So I don’t want to make you all jealous but I was indeed one of the 80,000 people who witnessed Mo Farah sprint his way to that second gold medal.  I have never experienced an atmosphere quite like it.

 The gun went and that was it, for the next 13 minutes 41.66 seconds the crowd really were going mad. There was the most amazing 12 year old kid behind me screaming so loudly his parents kept apologising. Mo Farah said afterwards how "It just got louder and louder.  It reminded me of when you go to a football match and somebody scores a goal - wow." I discussed in a post a while back how I found the passion from football fans quite overwhelming and I didn’t quite understand it but on this occasion there was a tremendous sense of anticipation and excitement which was shared by everyone in the crowd who were willing Mo to win.

If you looked around the stadium it was literally a 12 lap Mexican wave with GB flags going crazy every time Mo Farah approached. Initially Mo was at the back of the pack but then he made his move and kept on moving until he was at the front. 

Mo at the back of the pack!....

But not for long!

By the time he commenced his final lap the stadium was erupting and the screams were just getting louder and louder, as Mo went faster and faster - it was extraordinary.

Once my father had got over the emotion/excitement and exhaustion of Farah’s win he pointed out we will always be able to say we were there when Mo Farah won his second gold and I can safely say I will never forget that moment.

Well done Mo!

Hello Gold Medals.

London 2012 Olympics - picture time.

There is no denying that the London 2012 Olympic Games were a huge success. I’ve been to my fair share of sporting events but they all seem insignificant compared with the Olympics.

The first event we went to was the beach volleyball and we left feeling rather boring that we weren’t dressed up – everyone was well and truly getting into the GB spirit.

As a result my family and I decided to go all out and invest in some Team GB T-shirts.  I thought I’d share a few from the family album. 

Excited much?

One of the Olympic volunteers - he actually requested this photo with us! 

And of course the famous "Mobot" after Mo Farah's win!

Adidas Team GB Sing-a-long.

Love this Adidas video featuring Sir Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and many more Team GB stars, singing “Don’t Stop Me Now”.

They really were a successful bunch collecting an impressive 65 medals – 29 of them gold, so why not celebrate with a Queen rendition.

Photoshop Magic

Seriously excited to announce I have finally learnt how to edit on photoshop. This is something I have genuinely wanted to know how to do for ages.

I managed to get Photoshop through work and that was that I got hooked.

Having just been to the Olympics my first edit had to be with the GB flag and the results are as follows……

On an Olympic note I have absolutely loved every single minute of it and can assure you some Olympic blog posts will follow. Tonight has been the first night without Olympic coverage and I’m lost – what did we all do before?
