I am very happy. I watched the Brownlee brothers win a gold and bronze in the triathlon (a completely bonkers event) for Team GB this morning, then we won some gold medals in the dressage (so elegant), then Laura Trott and Chris Hoy won golds in the cycling.
It makes a huge difference to have real medal contenders to support but I’ve also enjoyed watching other events where team GB aren’t involved. I was enthralled by the balance beam event even though GB wasn’t represented in the final. It’s simply astounding what these people can do. It’s such a privilege to watch the best in the world compete against each other right here in Britain. Awe-inspiring.
