I think I'm going to miss the giant billboards of Ennis most
There's a level for everyone though, at 22 you will have no problem finding a sport that you can be passionate about and try and succeed in.Oh yer agree with that, What I more mean is at 22 I'm unlikely to be competing in anything even at an amateur level, the real legacy will hopefully be for people to really make a dent in their sporting community even if it never gets past the local level.
agree fully.I never understood the miserable doom and gloom buggers with only negative things to say about the games and I'm chuffed the games huge success is one in the eye for them.
It's been a truly magical spectacle with SO many memorable performances and I'm sorry it's over....I've watched sports I've never seen before and from the first minute to the last I've got massive enjoyment from it!
Everyone involved from the competitors, those responsible for getting the games on to the 70,000 volunteers deserve a massive round of applause.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree entirely.I never understood the miserable doom and gloom buggers with only negative things to say about the games and I'm chuffed the games huge success is one in the eye for them.

He did that with the zip line thing, only increased his popularity from what i could gather.There's still time for Boris to do something embarrassing.
Is any other country lucky enough to have a dedicated channel for each event? Credit to them for that.BBC's coverage has been simply excellent. Enjoyed the pundits too. Hope they keep hold of Thorpe and Johnson.
Exactly, some people were just so intent on being down about it but the majority of the concerns never materialised. Transport, security, accommodating the massive influx of people, all fine.I never understood the miserable doom and gloom buggers with only negative things to say about the games and I'm chuffed the games huge success is one in the eye for them.

I am honestly not that arsed about it, even got rid of Sky sports. Feeling really lethargic about the football. I think it may be that Team GB's results and efforts have basically made footballers look like twats. Especially the England team. Was a little sceptical at first but have thoroughly enjoyed these games.On the plus side Football is back next week.
I agree. I'm sure by next week I'll be back into it, but it does leave a bit of a bitter taste when you've got some of these amazing athletes' stories next to a headline about footballers rejecting £100,000+ contracts a week.I am honestly not that arsed about it, even got rid of Sky sports.

Johnsons worked at the BBC ages and even done docus on there later at night and on channel 4 I think. The aussie guy was a bit ott with his explaining of things. BBC are good for everything, athletics, wimbledon, snooker, football, the lot. Red button is ace with them. Shame they can't have it all and tell Sky to do one, they could money wise but its about covering all areas I guess. Everyone should get to see sport like we've just seen, forever.BBC's coverage has been simply excellent. Enjoyed the pundits too. Hope they keep hold of Thorpe and Johnson.
This post, all of it. Yes.Had low expectations leading up to it, expectations of national humiliation even.
That only served to make the last 17 days even more incredible. Danny Boyle set the scene and mood brilliantly and that feeling never let up all the way through to today. There are so many people to appreciate and be proud of, so many achievements to be in awe of.
If I were a kid, I know what my ambition would be now, what I'd be going out to do tomorrow morning. The only downside is, it's highly unlikely any of us will ever get to see the Olympics take place on these 'isles of wonder' again.
This was Britain's moment to shine in the 21st century and it (to use the current parlance) fecking smashed it.
Agreed. Now they know what they would have missed...I hope FIFA are happy they fecked us off for the World Cup now.
I don't think they will care, for some rea$on...Agreed. Now they know what they would have missed...
I had to switch over from time to time when Coronation Street was coming on ITVThere's been a great buzz around London and it's been much more memorable than I ever thought it would be.
I also don't think I've watched a single channel other than BBC and the 24 Olympic channels for the last 2 weeks.
Shocker of a decision.I hope FIFA are happy they fecked us off for the World Cup now.
Well as we have held the world championships in cycling at the velodrome in manchester and constantly hold events there throughout the year where you'd have been able to see HOY and Pendleton your wish was already granted.I just wish they'd had more stuff up north. I got to see Brazil in the footy, but would've been up for some velodrome or swimming or something like that, too.
