Faster, higher, stronger

To copy Google's quote today: "The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." –Olympic Charter

I can't not look, the Olympic Games are always such a feast of sports highs and hopefully will be that now too. I hope it will all go well! Obviously this is a quick snap of tv images at the very beginning of the opening ceremonies, I'm not anywhere near Sochi. And it appears the Dutch prime minister has spoken to president Putin this morning and did even mention gay rights.

Thanks very much for yesterday's comments and stars on yesterday's blossom Blip !
