As for the opening ceremony, it was typically quirky. We Brits excel at self-deprecating ‘quirkiness’. It was, as Opening Ceremonies are meant to be, representative of our culture and our history. So maybe we did have children bouncing on beds. Perhaps that was to reflect the ‘legacy’ aspect of these games, handing the torch onto the next generation but encouraging them to take up the trampoline!
And today the Games come to an end. It has been a wonderful experience. A lesson to us all. Strive to do your best and never give up, despite what other may say. However many obstacles they may put in your path. However much they may mock your efforts. You may not win a gold medal, but at least you tried. You did your very best. That is all that really matters when it comes to the finishing line. Four years of hard work. And sometimes it pays off.
Thankyou London.
