A tall order in 4 years! :-). But maybe with the oil money it will happen.<br /><br />I don't think the IOC recognises the Falklands. I saw some Overseas Territories, like the Falklands, competed under GB auspices at London.peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303915651549066703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425154115888876778.post-50269115504757252272012-08-15T12:51:11.503-07:002012-08-15T12:51:11.503-07:00With the next Olympics being in Brazil, I would li...With the next Olympics being in Brazil, I would like to see the Falklands do what is necessary to be represented.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425154115888876778.post-50957139006779237072012-08-15T05:12:22.632-07:002012-08-15T05:12:22.632-07:00Hi Sue, yes, I've probably stood behind Mo at ...Hi Sue, yes, I've probably stood behind Mo at the checkout in Tescos, but assumed he was a Kenyan, as they were always wandering around in their running gear. Mo and his wife also took part once or twice in the Saturday Parkrun in Bushy.

I'd even stood at the Diana Fountain during the rehearsal last year, to check the best places for watching. We don't know what the future holds!

Carolyn and I saw<br />Chinese atheletes training in the Park on one of our walks<br />there. We thoroughly enjoyed the cycle racing in the area and<br />made the most of cheering them on!
