Olympic Beach Volleyball 2012

Last night Clare and I went to the beach volleyball down at Horse Guards Parade. It was FANTASTIC.

We went for dinner first as we had been told that it was quite expensive to eat at the actual event, so we hit Nando's (yum!) then made our way via bus down to The Mall for the entrance. No worries with the security or lines, we went straight thru. We walked around the venue a bit and had a look but it was soon time to head into the stands.

So exciting we ran up our steps and burst out onto the platform, the atmosphere was fantastic and our seats were amazing. The support crew & volunteers got the crowd pumped and we saw:

Austria vs Switzerland - mens preliminary
USA vs Czech Republic - mens preliminary

Womens Lucky loser final : TEAM GB vs Austria
Mens Lucky loser final : Croatia vs Germany

It was so great to be a part of something so huge. The music was played in between points and there were people dancing on the pitch. The mexican wave went around about 10 times, so funny. A definete high point of the Olympics.
