The summer olympics finally brought fun and excitement to the summer holidays.
The opening ceremony was one to remember with history of England all etched in within a couple of hours of Danny Boyle's masterpiece.
Usain Bolt managing to strike a double triple, smashing the previous world record into pieces in the 4X100m relay with a ridiculous time of 36.84 seconds.
Michael Phelps became the best olympian of all time, winning a total of 22 olympic medals throughout his career, an achievement Ian Thorpe was quick to praise.
Congratulations must go to Team GB, but it is sort of unfair that they should be considered 3rd best. This is because olympics has 3 medals not just golds, and in no. of total medals they are 4th. They also had massive home support which obviously made a difference. Plus the only medals Team GB ever manage to get are in sports that hardly mean anything, in other words, sports which I personally think should not be considered very proffesional. These include Sailing, Canoeing, Cycling, Boxing, Shooting and Equestrian. Without these, 11 golds, 8 silvers, 14 bronzes, 33 total.
They would be 6th or 7th place in no. of golds and 9th place or so in no. of total medals.
USA and china once again proved their part in the olympics.
Japan did fairly well, with a total of 38 medals to their name, but they seemed to have found a new love for silvers and bronzes.
