Is anyone watching the Olympics?

[Caspin]

Watched quite a lot of the athletics over the weekend. I was so happy that Christine Ohuruogo won a medal; I like that she doesn't pay attention to the press (before she ran they had written her off completely and then when she takes silver they change to 'she should have won') and she just gets on with the race.

Some friends of mine went to visit the Olympic Park, they had a good day out with their kids but mentioned that all the spectators are trampling the flower beds, which seems a shame. I'll be interested to see how well they manage to use the facilities when the Olympics finishes. It'd be tragic if the Aquatic Centre doesn't stay in use, since there aren't many full size swimming pools left these days and councils have shut some of the local baths.
