Olympics Begin:
Openning Ceremony was great a real special event. Take a look at the images on the slide show. I will add photos each day of the games.
Day 1 saw our rowers start well and some good swimming, equestrian and cycling. I love the fact I can sit at home and just surf the channels looking at sports I only see every 4 years like this. Day 2 was a day for our great rowers, some great efforts in the swimming from Boyle for NZ and the French 4 X 100m Freestyle relay team that pipped the USA. Mark Todd and the team placed well after the dressage. An all nighter ahead for us to see the cross country on Day 3. As for the other events a slow start in the sailing, and the Oly Whites got a 1-1 draw with Egypt in a great spectacle. Day 3 was amazing watching the swimming and rowing heats and then the Cross Country in the 3 day eventing. This will be the long night i predicted. Day 4 ...blah blah |
