I belive that the ticketing system was awful for these olympics too many tickets allocated to sponsers

Ah, not me, three others in my team. I didn't apply.

I'm afraid I'm one of the Olymo-sceptics!

Was at the pre-Olympics this Sunday at Horse Guards Parade for the women's beach volleyball. It was a great event, saw two semi final matches, Team GB lost by 5 points.
The Brazilian team won Gold, US won Silver and the other Brazilian team won Bronze, Team GB coming in fourth, shame.

We managed to speak with Lili on the Gold winning team and had a photo with her!

Sun was shining, the day was warm and we got free brochures of the event, and a free clapper each, which was great to make noise! Brilliant day.

Looking forward to another good day. Waiting outside Olynpic Park now for the first pre-0lympic game, basketball. Queuing for security checks.
