Subject: RE: BS: The Olympic Games
Hi

I have watched much of the broadcast so far of the Games.

There have been many exciting moments and these make fantastic viewing.

Cycling both road and track, rowing, hockey ( the field variety) were all exciting. I actually found Archery to be very interesting and though it looks easy I guess that it certainly isn't.

Today I am watching Athletics, especially Jessica Ennis. She is a brilliant and gifted athlete and seems to be a very nice person to boot. She seems to be set to win gold in the Heptathlon after a very disciplined and focussed performance leaves her to run well in the last of her events the 800 metres. Go Jessica go !!

There has been a great deal of discussion and "adverts" ( theoretically should be none on the BBC.) which for me gives me time to do other tasks that I need to do, so I don't really mind but I can see how it annoys many people.

Of all the presenters and " experts " for me Clare Balding and Michael Johnson stand out.

All in all Well done Team GB.

Cheers
