Melinda

how did they do!?

 

Sixth place i'm afraid, they didn't get away as quickly as the other teams & just couldn't catch up after that. But I echo Victoria's sentiment

Better to be sixth than not in the race at all.

 

6th Place in The World seems like an amazing achievement to me.

 

You are spot on there Scrungee,
Jenny

 

Thanks.

That's an absolutely brilliant achievement and what an experience! Something that can never be taken away.

 

Wow Scrunge That is an excellent way of looking at it, yes

 

I didn't see the ladies rowing but I saw the men's final at lunch time. Those people are superhuman.

 

We are not 'sports' people but because of our Melinda we have taken an interest in the Rowing events and are watching them all. Strangely, we have been following the Road Cycling.

In our opinion, they ALL deserve a medal!

 

My thoughts exactly. No doubt she's not feeling on top of the world right now, one can only guess how she's feeling. But as far as I'm concerned, to reach an Olympic final?

 

I'm guessing after all that dicipeline & training for so long, the team will be letting their hair down big time tonight.

Hope they are having a well deserved party

 

I think it would be very difficult to know what they're going through right now, but for sure, they deserve a good ol' knees up. Hopefully, Mel will fill us in at some stage....

 

So proud of you Mel, well done, an "Olympic" final, win or lose its a huge achievement, well done

 

Well done Melinda, No medal, but a competitor in the UK2012 OLYMPIC GAMES
ONE of seven hundred people, out of 79 Million Brits
That is brilliant

I hope you party tonight what an achievement

Or to put it another way, even adjusting the population count to 60 million (closer to the official figure), only about 0.001% of the UK population are in team GB. That's an immense achievement.

 

Hopefully not with an oversized ice cream & several bags of leafmold though.
