London 2012 / Botany Downs Room 10 Olympics Games.

This year Ms Lala was very fortunate to attend the Olympic Games in London.  While she was away, we held our own Olympic Games competition. 

There was the test of durability, flexibility, strength, dicipline and sheer determination to do our best in the Gymnastics category.

The next event was the powerful force and adrenalin rush of throwing a heavy shotput (or wheaty bag).  Valerie Adams will need to be watching her back closely in 2016.

An event that requires alot of concentration, patience, and steadfast control is the Equestrian event.  I'm sure Mark Todd would be very proud of our future riders.

Finally, the 100m Sprints.  See you in 2016 Usain Bolt.  

The moment that all athletes dream about is winning that

Gold medal. 

It makes all that hard work worth it!



Well done athletes of room 10. 

You are outstanding!

Special thanks to Mrs Holmes for organising this event.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world Ms Lala was enjoying the London Olympic buildup.

Outside the O2 Stadium where the Gymnastic's were held.

We went for a gondola ride before we entered the stadium.

Security was very tight, but this made us feel safe.

I was getting quite excited by now.  The events were about to start. 



Our next event was called 'Super Saturday' by the English people because they expected to get a lot of gold medals on this day.   Again, security was very tight at the Olympic Stadium.

Yay! We finally made it inside the Olympic Stadium.

This is my brother Sures, me and my sister Mina.

 We were lucky enough to see Oscar Pistorius's and Usain Bolt's qualifying heat.

We also saw other track and field events.







Along with 80,000 other people, we had such an awesome time.

Although, we were not sure whether we liked this structure.  It certainly cost a lot of money.



A few days later, we went along to Hyde Park where the Triathalon event was taking place.  This was very exciting.  There were people everywhere, and big screens so everyone could see.  The Brownlee brothers from Great Britain came in first and third place.


Back in London city, there is a park in Convent Gardens.  You may notice the giant medals hanging from the trees.  Each time Team GB (Great Britain) won a medal in any event, a giant medal was put up to celebrate their achievements.
I had an amazing time in London and have many wonderful memories.
