London 2012 Olympic Stadium

Today Mum and I went to the Paralympics, and it was completely amazing! I had no idea how big the Olympic Park is, so luckily we got there a few hours before the evening session and spent the afternoon wandering round and exploring. It was great to see all the venue and all the wildflowers and little touches round the park make it feel really special.

After seeing it on the TV and getting so caught up in the Olympics and Paralympics, it was really strange to finally be in the stadium. A lot has been said in the press about the atmosphere, but it was truly incredible. The stadium was packed, with the crowd going nuts for every event. When David Weir took to the track and won his gold, the noise was deafening; I've never heard anything like it. We definitely got out moneys worth with two GB bronze, one GB silver and one brilliant GB gold.
