Well it’s here and it was a great Olympic opening ceremony!

It’s not about the politics for me so if you want to debate that side of things there are plenty of places to go online. For me, the Olympics is about the dedication and work the athletes have put in order to represent their country in one of the greatest sporting events ever.

Can you imagine being at the top of your game like that, the world at your feet, the personal sacrifice it has taken to get there and the feelings of sheer joy in your accomplishment. I can not think of how they would describe it, the best sporting emotion I ever had was winning the Leicestershire Rugby County Cup, being the best in world, a gold medal at the Olympics, is a gazillion miles from that.

Yes the Olympics may seem a little off topic but my kids have learned more about China in the last fews hours (and so have I) than they would learn through school. What an amazing history, Makes me wonder what we will be celebrating in 4 years time, Robin Hood and the Viking Invasion???
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very proud to be British and will be cheering on the Great Britain Team in the 2008 Olympics, Come on Team GB!!

If you love the whole idea, like me but also have to work, then grab this news sprout and embed it in your facebook, myspace or similar profile, you will be able to keep up with all the news
