I'm really excited, I'm volunteering and I really can't wait. I've never really bothered about the Olympics before, but I think a combination of it being held on home turf, and being involved to such a huge scale, has changed that.
I'll no doubt be trying to hold back tears at every medal ceremony, not succeeding most of the time, as I'm a soppy sod like that.
Oh and I have tickets for wheelchair basketball and I am sooooo excited about that!!! |

he has really been taken by the whole Olympic spirit. As it is currently raining here,we are having a "crafty day" as he calls it and are making creations with hama beads (plastic beads you put on peg board and then iron to melt together) and he has made numerous olympic rings designs and is about to do a union jack to hold when he watches the olympics... |

I know some of the east end kids who have made it to the olympics and you will probably be hearing about a few new names over the next 2 weeks..... I know they will make you as proud as they have made me...... |

Still fairly indifferent regarding the actual events, but as I've had to cancel my festival plans for the weekend and will be stuck on the sofa surrounded by painkillers I'm quite looking forward to watching the Opening Ceremony tonight, and will probably dip in and out of the Paralympics |

We know a few people who are in the Opening Ceremony. It'll be chish and fipps in front of the telly this evening and going 'ooh' and 'aah'. Then there are all the other Olympic related things going on so if you don't like the sports bit get along to one of the free art things. Jubilympics! Enjoy! |

Can't say all the events will draw my attention...maybe watch more than I would have done if it were hosted in a different country (mainly due to time difference elsewhere).
For me it will be the occasion and history. The UK won't host this again in my life time so it's a piece of history to tell the grand kids about...when I get them...I'm far too young!
I also think it's been a nostalgic year for the country with the jubilee. Well done Bradley, hard luck Andy and let's hope our team do us proud especially on home turf. I do hope the usual British hobby of 'lets moan and slate everyone' doesn't kick in.
Come on team GB. It's your moment of glory. Good luck and enjoy every minute. I'm proud to be British |

I was indifferent too but I've absolutely loved watching everyone coming together to support the torch relay. All the crowds and the police getting people into the spirit. I'm going to really miss it. I'm going to watch tonight if I can. |

Yes, the torch relay has gone really well. 1,000s on the street in Tottenham and no trouble. Even Charlie and Camilla were welcomed. |

I am already emotional, I have never watched one before so am really looking forward to it.
I just think all these young people taking part, the memories will stay a lifetime. The young athletes who have trained, not got into any bother with drink or drugs and the sad things that blight some of our young... and there are people who just can't encourage that with a few positive words.. It is a real shame. |

Hmmmm………Ok I’m gonna guess the Olympic bell will invert to become the Olympic cauldron….
But I’ve got no idea who’s gonna light it….
Although Steve Redgrave did have a very mischievous smirk on his face when Sue Barker asked if he knew who it was!! ….!. hmmmm |

It`s been brilliant to see not only the commitment and the response from the crowd but to see tears when medals have been won and missed by fractions. The comments by the rowers today who missed gold by fractions and blubbed because they`ve "let people down". Have they buggery!!! They gave it their all and that showed in their exhaustion and emotion!
Fantastic job ALL of our competitors and their supporters, coaches, family et all! |

Apparently it's one of the best forms of exercise!
Works most muscles in the leg and bum, gets your heart rate up but is low impact. |

The Olmpics still lives at a school near me, or rather 1/3 of a building used at the Olympics does! The school was struck by lightning and the Art block destroyed in the resulting fire. As a temporary measure part of the athelete`s food hall has been hired in to provide accomodation until the Art block is rebuilt. |

I went to 40 odd events and any mention of the Olympics brings a massive smile to my face. Watching the Brownlee brothers win 2 medals and Nicola Adams winning the first ever women's boxing gold will live long in the memory as will the smiles on the faces of the the gamesmakers who were just brilliant! |
