Summer Sports

Love him or hate him you can’t deny the excitement Boris Johnson’s speech evoked after the Olympians parade yesterday. It’s been a fantastic summer for sports and especially for the athletes who call Great Britain home. Not only did the games offer a chance for team GB to become one of the most decorated in Olympic history but don’t forget about the likes of Bradley Wiggins claiming the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, Roy McIlroy winning the US Open golf tournament and just last night Andy Murray won not only his first major at the US open, but he also became the first Brit in 76 years to win a Grand Slam title (last time was Fred Perry at the US Open in 1936).

As a Canadian living in London I’ve fully jumped on the Great Britain band wagon and feel pretty proud of the British athletes accomplishments. I had been wary at the beginning of the games knowing there wouldn’t be any coverage of Canadian athletes and their respective events. Then I remembered this is a summer games and we tend to do better in the ice and snow.

A massive congrats to all team GB and to London for hosting a great games!
