2012 Olympics recap

[birdienl]

A wonderfully entertaining two weeks have ended. London 2012 is over. This amazing event deserves a recap post.

Therefore; thank you Olympic Games for making the world seem very small and very peaceful for two weeks.
Thank you for (at least in The Netherlands) relieving us for two weeks from squabbling politicians. 

Thank you Dutch medal winners for making us proud and ending our slightly disappointing sporting summer on a very positive tone. 
Thank you all the Dutch athletes for giving your best and letting us share in your passion for sports which we often know very little about.

Thank you every Olympic athlete for letting us share in your amazing achievements and emotional moments.
Thank you London for giving us two fabulous shows, the opening and closing ceremony, which enclosed two weeks that I for one enjoyed very very much!

Good little tribute post. :)

The two weeks of the Olympics passed so quickly, it seems.

The Olympics were fantastic, and it's always sad to see them end. We have the Winter Olympics to look forward to in another 2 years!

That is true, but still: two years :-(
