Hitting the target

Wednesday's shift was a late one, starting at 1pm.
Another quiet day at the office.
No morning session meant there wasn't much activity until later in the day when half a dozen athletes were competing, so headed across to the Hero Village to watch a few medal ceremonies. Sadly no GB athletes in this session, so was cheering for my fellow Team Attache friends' teams of USA and Ireland, and was delighted to be able to get a photo with Jason Smyth, The Irish Gold medal sprinter.

On Thursday I headed home for the day, my 2nd day off out of the 2 weeks, and it was far quicker to travel the distance from where I am staying to get home, than to travel by train into London and across to Stratford, yet to home is about twice the distance. Mind you the train journey to Stratford does require a lot less effort.

In my absence the Team won  2 Bronzes on Wednesday evening and 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 4 Bronze on Thursday. (How dare they? 😉 )
My next shift on Friday started off fairly quiet, so I was able to head across to the medal plaza and see all those 'Thursday won medals' being presented.
What a great couple of hours that was, and I managed to get a few pictures with some of the athletes I have been working with for the past, nearly 2, weeks.

As I write this, we have won another Gold with Kadeena Cox gaining a medal at the Friday evening session, so we now have 14 Gold, 3 Silver and 13 Bronze in total, 3rd in the table behind China and the USA.
Whoop Whoop
2 more shifts remaining until the games end. How many more can we achieve before then? There are 4 more sessions, but some are heats, though still loads of finals to come.
Go Team GB.

It's been an awesome couple of weeks working with the athletes, The final weekend is going to be busy as the final events take place. I'm pretty sure the team have already met their medal targets, so bring on the fun for those that are still competing. This team are bloomin' awesome and how great to have been part of it.
