LONDON: Watching The Events In Hyde Park

As I did not buy any tickets for the Olympic Stadium, I decided to go to Hyde Park to watch the bigger events such as the 100m final with Usain Bolt and the heptathlon with one of the faces of the Olympics, Jessica Ennis. The entrance was free and three big screens showed the different sports events. A lot of people had their flags with them and were really into Olympic fever. When Jessica Ennis started her run, everyone was so excited and at the same time nervous, because everyone expected her to win it. The most breathtaking moment was when she accelerated at the end of the race, passing all her competitors, leaving them well behind. People started cheering, applauding and even shouting.




When she finally won the race, fireworks were shown on the main screen and everyone seemed so relieved and happy. Everyone was looking at each other, feeling proud to be British and getting another medal for Team GB. The same feeling of goosebumps came when Mo Farah was running. An incredible amount of people came to watch his last run. At his final round everyone was so nervous and cheering, that as soon as he reached the final line, everyone jumped and hugged each other.
