I'm looking at the young tyros tearing around the skate park at the moment. The final is about to happen. They are mostly only 13 or 15 years old. Ha ha. The energetic runs of the half-Japanese girl representing GB and the other two young Japanese girls brings a big smile to your face.

The street skateboarding events were jaw dropping, as was the freestyle BMX bikes. What great new additions to the Olympics.
Played rugby and soccer for fun (as well as other non-olympic sports) but was a nationally ranked athlete for 10 years. Competition could be "fun", training and injuries certainly were not.
