I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and is settled to enjoy the opening ceremony. Here in the UK it seems most of the 'bah-humbugs' have gone into hiding and people are truely excited to see the greatest sporting event on earth come to our back yard.
So far we've already had bells ring out accross the country in time with Big Ben, the olympic torch is riding on the royal barge and we're hoping for some early gold tomorrow with the cycling road race (come on Cavendish!), Judo and Swimming. Not to mention our hopes with the British men in the O2 (sorry, North Greenwich arena)
It's sad then to hear the reports of nagging injuries to McKayla Maroney (still very much the one to beat on vault), China and Romania's young talents Larisa Iordache and Yao Jinnan. Here's hoping the excitement of competition will carry them through and they can still look back on the biggest competition of their lives as a success.
Enjoy the spectacle, see you for competition tomorrow!
