The last olympics were held in 2012 in London. As not much of a sports lover, I didn't really care about it. There was so much anticipation around the home olympics and I couldn't care less... That was until the opening ceremony. It was AMAZING, it made me so proud to be British. When the British athletes walked out I remember thinking about what it would be like to be them. To have the rare opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd where nearly everyone supported you.
And do you know what, despite my apprehension, I loved the olympics. I found myself watching it all day, everyday. Cheering, yelling and gasping at the events as they happened. I fell in love with it. The athletes passion and drive was truly inspirational. Better yet was the crowds, the roar of the spectators when the British athletes stepped out to compete was like nothing I'd ever heard before.
The best thing about the olypics though is how it unites the world. All the competing countries work in harmony. Despite the competition, it's peaceful, there's no fighting and no wars and that can only be a good thing.
2016 has a lot to live up to.
Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
