My Olympics

There was huge pressure –
we was under a lot of pressure…

But I remembered the instructions -
keep cool, do just what you’ve been trained to do…so,

to get through, do so well
was just amazing…just amazing...

I feel – just – fantastic..
the whole experience has been – fantastic..

and yes, I guess my sights are now
on London two hundred twelve..

the stadium, the village, the facilities, were just fantastic..
but now it’s over, I just want

to get home again – I’m really proud
I volunteered to be a lavatory attendant..

...amazing… just fantastic..
