I have a sport mad son, so the olympic coverage is on constantly here and when he's at his summer job it all has to be recorded!  I enjoy watching it too, the swimming especially which was my favoured sport when younger but I love the gymnastics, sprints, rowing etc.

 

For me, it is something special to watch these talented people strive to attain and do their best.  The dedication that athletes put into their training.  This IS there big moment, all that they have ever dreamed of.  We have to remember that for athletes it is only for a short time, that they are at the top of their form!
