I finally got a ticket to the Olympics! On Thursday one of my oldest friends gave me her Canoe Sprint ticket as she could no longer go, so yesterday I headed to Eton Dorney at 7am. I drove, and despite what they said, parking was easy peasy, and free!
The event itself was amazing, the atmosphere incredible, and I saw Ed McKeever win a gold medal, as well as the GB mens double 200m win bronze. I have a video of when Ed McKeever won, and the cheering is just crazy, so I’ll put that up later when I have more time.

Thank you! It was so much fun and an amazing experience, I was just lucky to get a last minute ticket from a friend, as I didn't get any in the ballots or general sale 🙁

Looks like you had a great day! We went to see Team GB in the football quarter finals at Cardiff & even though we didn't win it was still it great atmosphere! I just wish I had been able to go to more events but I did love watching in on the telly as well! 🙂
It really was a fantastic day! Ooh I had a couple of friends who went to that one 🙂
Same, I wish I'd been able to go to more events, but I think you get to see more on the TV.
