Inspiring a Generation.
The catchcry theme for the 2012 London Olympics was ” Inspiring a Generation”.
The poms really did perform extremely well both on the the park , the track, the water, the velodrome and “off the field”. It was a pleasure to experience the “best games ever” and of course being there when our two local boys and in particular Simon winning bronze medals in dramatic style was a lifetime memory.
Both Jesse and Simon rode with such courage and determination. Their medals were richly deserved.
Given the huge success that Team GB had at these Olympics , already clubs across the UK are experiencing record interest across a range of sports. A generation has been inspired and the opportunity for more success and the door for future medals has been opened. Some clubs now have waiting lists !
With the exploits of Jesse and Simon, the same kind of opportunity on a much smaller scale exists in our own community and particularly our cycling community.
