  3. Yes, we saw him defend his 200m sprint title and it was awesome. Managed to bag seats that were 20 rows from the front and got a good view when he did his lap of honour

  18. It was fantastic. Managed to get seats that were about 20 rows from the front. I ran down the steps when Bolt did his lap of honour for this photo so I could get a closer shot

  19. It was a great race. He's going to have to start looking out for Blake though I think. It looked like it was getting close towards the end of the race (although we sitting in the opposite side of the stadium to the finish line so I might be wrong there)

  20. We got last minute tickets so yes, very lucky!

  21. I'm surprised he didn't kiss his 'guns' after this pose ;-)

  22. It was a great night. The atmosphere really was something else with everyone in great spirits

  23. We've had the TV on all day every day. I think all the athletes (but especially Team GB) displayed the Olympic spirit and did really well

    ReplyDelete
  24. Definitely. It's just a shame my children are too young to remember this occasion properly. But, they'll have all my photos and videos to look at!

  25. We definitely got lucky with our seats but we did pay a fair amount for them (I won't tell you how much, just that they weren't £20 seats!) so I was expecting a good view

  26. Absolutely brilliant to see Bolt in action. Plus, we got to see a new world record being set in the 800m. On the downside, we saw a triple jumper who hurt himself during a jump and had to be stretchered off, poor guy

  27. Thanks. It was a great night all round

    ReplyDelete
  28. Must have been an amazing atmosphere in the stadium - what an incredible experience!
