Keep your used Olympic tickets, there is more value already than I thought.

Apologies for the delay in this...been a bit ill this week.....
So anyway I knew Mo Farah was on the track before I spotted him because the roar was so loud. Even thinking about it now send shivers down my spine. The only thing I can compare the roar at the start of the race with is the roar at the start of the first race at Cheltenham. I am sure everyone saw the race on TV but it was remarkable in that the noise seemed to follow the runners and in particular Mo around the stadium as they passed. With about 5-6 laps to go Mo decided to take it up and in 50 yards went from last to first and I thought the roof was going to come off the stadium and from there onwards the noise was all around the stadium and just got louder and louder......by this point I think I wanted him to win more than I had wanted any sporting outcome before but it just felt as though someone was going to come past him then there just came a point with about 200 metres to go when you knew they wouldn't pass him and the stadium just erupted. I was at Middlesbrough on both occasions when we came back from 3 goals down to get to the semi and final of the UEFA Cup in the last minute and never thought anything would surpass that but this did. It was just the best experience of my life and it wasn't just me. It was wonderful to see my dad jumping up and down and just showing unbridled joy at what he was seeing and in many ways that made the whole experience for me and this from a man who looked slightly embarrassed when I jumped on him when Boro won the Carling Cup. The rest of the night was a bit of a blur but the general goodwill of the crowd was amazing and as someone with strong links to the Caribbean it was really great to see Keshorn Walcott win the javelin but the night was just topped off by the 4x100m relay with Bolt doing the Mobot as he passed the line and broke the WR. They then kept us waiting and waiting and waiting for the medal ceremony by putting every other ceremony first but nobody left and when Mo came back out it was just incredible all over again. As we filed out of the stadium they then did a really great interview with Mo and Usain Bolt which just topped the night off. As we walked away I have to admit I felt a tiny bit flat in that way that you do when you know something will never be that good again. Amazing experience.
it was fooking brilliant wasn't it. Easily the best sports event i've ever been to.

I have all my tickets except the one for Super Saturday which got lost somehow. Think that will be worth the most too!
