I think Great Britain have really like, upped their game, and now we're third. Because we came from like fourteenth to like, third, so I'm really proud of us. It's pretty awesome, cuz it's like. You have it in England and then like the whole country has this buzz about it, and it's so cool because it's like you see it on TV, here it on the news, it's everywhere. You're like yeah! I think it's been really good like just seeing like other people getting involved. And like younger children seeing that would be, and I think more people would be into sports, later on and stuff, which is good. [ MUSIC ] It's been very good and inspiring to everybody and it's been a great like chance to like get outside and be useful. And everybody is in a happy mood. The weather's been good. It's like being on a holiday. In your own city really. Where everyday we've been out. There's always something to do. There's brilliant cultural things as well as being in pics, it's just fantastic. It's all going pretty well so far. Everything seems to be pretty well organized. The transport doesn't seem to have collapsed like I thought it might. This screen well planned from the start, I think everybody had this doom and gloom, the transport system was going to overload and completely shut down. If anything it was worse before the Olympic Games, so overall I would say great! [ MUSIC ] My personal highlights of the Olympics have been Alan Campbell. The British single skulls. Cuz he also rows for our rowing team Piedras Skullers. So we're really, really delighted that he won. Jessica Ennis. I thought she was amazing. I literally want to be her now. It's inspired me to get fit actually. She's inspired a lot of people I know as well. Personally my favorite medalist, I thought it was an amazing ray run I really enjoyed it. At most power winning the other night and I think his face in the end is like really good like that he's so happy and I was happy for him and everyone's screaming [ LAUGH ]. I remember being at home and just like jumping out of my seat and just cheering with my mom. And Michael Phelps doing really well in a relay, single relay. I think Usain Bolt winning the 100. I was told that he might struggle but absolutely blazed it to be honest. Team DB have done incredibly well, I mean it's just you know, top flip, the Beijing Olympics and all the rest of it so. The, the sake was the, was definitely a highlight. I think it's been fantastic because I wasn't really interested in it, but I just got really into it and I didn't think I would, but it's been absolutely fantastic.
