My top three Favourites – bending the rules a little 😉
1 The Mo Farah Sonic Mexican Wave during his 5000m final
2 The Jamaican 4x100m relay WR topped off with a Usain Bolt Mobot 😆
3= Anna Chicherova winning highjump & Keshorn Walcott winning the Javelin, happened at near-enough the same time, good for different reasons
3= Alan Campbell’s Bronze in the single sculls and Sir Steve carrying him up the gangway and supporting him during the girl’s Gold medal national anthem
3= Yu Shiwen’s 400m medley
3= Sir Chris hoy’s medal ceremony
3= Bert Le Clos
3= Jess Ennis’ 800m
3= Gonzalo Barroilhet & Keisuke Ushiro in the men’s “syncronised” decathlon pole vault, both clearing third attempts for PB’s (I think) at exactly the same time
Three least favourite
1 The GB crowd booing during the Urugayan National Anthem in the footie match between the two teams. Lot’s of kids there too, joining in with older family members, who’ll now think that’s acceptable behaviour. A real let down.
2 The US coaches and ex-pros inferring opposition drug-cheating when losing:
in the pool when the US swimmer was beaten by Yu Shiwen (but not when their own were winning spectacularly) ;
and in the mens sprints when beaten by the Jamaicans (whilst their own ladies ran East German times without the same questions).
3 The post-roadrace interviews, blaming other teams and nations when it wasn’t their responsibility to help us win.
