I do not know when I am going to wake up from the bubble I am in.
As a young athlete racing at the
top level, I dreamt of being in the Olympics one day so to feel what I am experiencing
right now feels like I am living that dream…
We had a full dress rehearsal at the Olympic stadium today where we would
step in for the Athletes. The ultimate gift I had was to be Chris Hoy’s
understudy and carry the England Flag around the stadium as he will do on
Friday.
I got a sense of how this will feel for Chris on Friday night. Although earlier
there were over 50,000 spectators watching what will be a spectacular show for
the Opening Ceremony, by the time it came for the countries to parade the spectators
were asked to leave to ensure they had time to catch their transport. Even
though we paraded around without an audience the emotion and pride you feel carrying the
flag is like nothing else I can compare this with.
If you do nothing else on Friday night you must watch the Opening Ceremony, this will be truly AMAZING I promise you, so get the beer and wine on chill sit back relax and enjoy is all I will say......
