Cardiff 2012

The London Olympics kicked off two days early and some 160 miles (around 260 km) away at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Well actually the opening ceremony is being held in London on Friday night. Today saw the start of the Football (Soccer) competition with Team GB's ladies taking on New Zealand. Tomorrow the men's competition starts. Apparently in football, the poor players **need** two days between matches to recover, hence the early start so they can fit all the matches in. Can't help but wonder how all the other athletes will cope without such a luxury...


Oh and if anyone is interested Team GB beat the Kiwi's 1 - 0. Well done ladies.
