(We know it wasn’t reaaaaally the Queen but lets not spoil the illusion ok?)Īfter losing out to Ryan Lochte (and 2 others) in the 400m race, it was a beautiful moment when Phelps took home the gold for America by winning the 200m, making him the most-decorated Olympic athlete of all time with an astounding 22 medals. Phelps you’re one tall drink of pool water my friend. With Oscar winning director Danny Boyle as the mind behind the operation it really was remarkable to see our Queeny flying through the air so gracefully at the respectable age of 89! It would have been nice to see some Harry Potter references thrown in there to really hit all the British pop-culture references but not everything can be that magical. Overcoming stereotypes may be important to some but clearly not to Londoners who embraced the entire James Bond theme with the added delight of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth parachuting into the stadium with Daniel Craig as James Bond by her side. Remember those adverts on the tube comparing the world coming to London to when you hurriedly clean your place before your mum comes over? I mean maybe that’s the same kinda thing – you know – if you have your friends parachuting from the sky and quickly erect (grow up) a £701m stadium before your folks arrive…Īnyway, there are some moments from the 2012 games that are truly unforgettable, but in case you forgot them, here’s a recap of some of our highlights:
