To get into the Olympic Park in London, your public transport drops you at a transport hub, where you then need to enter the precinct by walking through a Westfields.

Canada looked good, a little casual.

Germany were funny - the men had blue jackets, the women had pink. Just in case you couldn't tell them apart.........and I didnt think blue and pink were the colours of Germany

We have a table tennis player called Miao Miao (pron meow). I'm guessing she's related to the cat lady from the Simpsons.

The first world record of the games has fallen to a legally blind archer from South Korea Dong Hyun. WOW

He broke his own world record, but can't see enough to read a newspaper - fantastic! :thumn:

I took archery lessons once and was given an eye patch for my right eye and told to squint with the left because apparently it narrows down your focal point and achieve better accuracy so perhaps poor eyesight benefitted him in this case. Well done to him regardless, living a life like that cannot be easy so its great to see someone get such a rewarding achievement.

I liked the way the Poms even had a good laugh at themselves. Rowan Atkinson was hilarious. How about Queenie parachuting into the stadium. Didn't think she had it in her.
