Nearly 4 hours last night (1am til 5am!) watching 3-day Eventing cross-country phase!!! Even spent a couple of hours the night before watching Dressage!!!  Isn't that little 14 year old swimmer an amazing kid!  So confident for his age! I hear they've nicknamed him Peking Tom! ;D |

Someone has to come second, third, etc, just as long as they try their best they should not be disappointed - always next time Just to take part in such an auspicious occasion and represent my country would be fantastic! I think I have left it a bit late to become 'good' at anything sporting though x Tig |

So confident for his age!
