I don't think I'll ever see an Olympics again where the support has been like it has at London 2012. From the rowing lake at Eton Dorney, to the velodrome and then to the Olympic Stadium itself. It has been incredible!
The crowds on the roadside of both road races, TT's, women's marathon and the walks, and in Hyde Park for the triathlons and opening water swimming and Greenwich have been enormous too. Wasn't a bad turnout at Hadleigh Farm earlier today either. And the sailing at Weymouth, I've watched a fair bit of the races and they're not exactly spectator friendly! Too many to mention really, apart from the empty seats fiasco of the earlier days, most venues have looked packed out.
Apart from one or two days we have been so lucky with the weather, although the crowds were out in force then as well!
And I'm looking forward to what has to be one of the loudest venues, the Excel tonight when Luke Campbell and John Joe Nevin fight for the gold and silver medals!
While I'm here, commiserations to the GB men's hockey team who have just lost the bronze medal match to the Aussies.
