Hope you're all ok.
So as some of you will know, yesterday I went down to London to watch the Women's Freestyle Wrestling at the Olympics!! I was so so so excited when we got tickets, I just think it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of something so amazing, it was just brilliant.
Anyway, the Wrestling was held at the ExCeL so we headed there and had a wander around and had a look at everything. It was mainly food places but there was an Olympic shop so I picked up a t-shirt and a golden Wenlock stuffed toy! Anyway, so we then headed into the arena to wait for the Wrestling to start. They had big screens on with someone explaining about the different types of wrestling and the basic rules and moves etc which was good as I didn't know a thing about it!
Here's a couple of pictures..
And a video...
And then the wrestling started! It was pretty brutal and unfortunately the GB lady got knocked out in the qualifying round. The crowd went absolutely mental when she came out and it was such an amazing atmosphere, you couldn't help but get swept away by it. I was so disappointed when she lost as she did really well, I felt so bad for her. We watched about 20 different wrestling matches in all which was brilliant!
So after the wrestling we decided to take the tube to Hyde Park as the London Live event was happening there. We were really lucky as there wasn't a queue when we arrived so we just walked straight in. They had a main stage where Dr Fox was interviewing some of team GB and there were some bands playing. And then there were about four big screens playing the Olympic events that were taking place so we sat and watched some more wrestling. Then we had an ice-cream, had a wander around and decided we'd better set off back home.
All in all it was a fantastic day and I'm so glad we were a part of it. In hindsight I do wish we'd stayed maybe another night to enjoy more of the festivities, but never mind!
Have you managed to snag some Olympic tickets? If so, I'd love to hear about your Olympic experience.
Lotsa love
