With the Marathon on Sunday evening that was basically the last of the events for the Games, i thought i would look back and reflect on the best moments over the past 16 days that brought me much joy (and Pride) as i sat and watched.
My Top 10 moments of the Games (not in any order except the first 3) were
1. Mo Farah - Winning the 10'000 (and 5000) pretty much a flawless display of running
2. Alistair Brownlee - Triathlon, sensational effort and basically won from the front and 29.07 off the bike..WOW
3. Jessica Ennis - Heptathlon, The New Darling of G.B capped of a Super Saturday night at the track
4. Rowing - Ladies pairs Grainger and Watkins, although all the Rowers take a bow, bloody tough sport that one.
5. Greg Rutherford - Long Jump, Proved that "Ginga's" can Jump , and after having his fair share of injuries was great to see ( even better relegating the skippy to Silver :) )
6. Cycling - Chris Hoy, Greatest G.B Olympian EVER, how good is this guy?
7. Cycling Time Trial - Bradley Wiggens - Gold after also winning the Tour only 2 weeks prior.
8. Sailing - Ben Ainslie, Any guy that wins GOLD and stands in his Boat singing 'Land of Hope & Glory gets me every day - Legend.
9. Equestrian - Zara Phillipps, Not really my sport to be honest but i could watch Zara ALL day, if only she wasn't married to that 'Meat Head' Rugby player Mike Tindall
10. Boxing - Bantamweight Luke Campbell GOLD after giving the Irish Boy John Joe Nevin a good shoeing :)
There were many more as well, and the closing of the Games brought goosebumps to me - Bloody Brilliant display from all, with Eric Idle a standout as well, and don't get me going with Young Emma from the Spice Girls.
Will go down as the 'Greatest Games' of all times............and that's without my English Hat on as well :)
England stand PROUD :)
Next Stop - Party Town in downtown RIO. BRAZIL
Cheers
