Thank you London 2012

I can't stop watching the Olympic Games of London 2012 on TV. So totally hooked to it. I've been watching almost all day, even left the beach yesterday despite the hot temperatures to go watch the women's marathon.

Tennis, diving, rowing, athletics, running, beach volleyball, and swimming have been my favourites. It is so inspiring to see those athletes compete; perfect bodies, immense characters. Huge supermans bursting into tears at the medal ceremony waving their flags, holding photos of their favourite ones.

I will never forget the image of Felix Sanchez crying like a baby while receiving his gold medal;  the image of the Argentinian giant Juan Martin Del Potro wiping his tears after having given everything on the tennis semi-final against Roger Federer (their match lasted more than 4 hours, with the third set finishing at 19-17 games); the image of Alan Campbell collapsing after securing the bronze medal for Great Britain at the men's single scull event. It has been so emotional, so exciting, adrenaline and effort to the maximum.

In total, I must have been in London about 30 times so far in the past five years. I visited for a couple of days for the Olympics last week and all I can say is this: London was at its best ever during this time.

Amazing atmosphere all over the city, great transport, services and organization, friendly volunteers, colours and flags and fans, all merged into one unified Olympic spirit. Thank you London 2012. Thank you for brightening up our lives and keeping the inspiration up...
