To see or be near an Olympic medal was like waiting for a bus - none for ages then two or more turn up together! It seemed like I'd been waiting ages for my opportunity to see one.
After almost 10 dys of waiting to see a London 2012 medal or to be seen with a London 2012 medal winner I had three in encounters in one afternoon early evening spell.
Italy Men
SILVER Men's Water Polo
The afternoon opened with a chance encounter with two members of Italy's Silver Medal winning Polo Team as they were making their away from the Village's Main Dining to their apartment, complete with their Silver Medals [proudly!] around their necks.
GBR - Lutalo Muhammad
BRONZE Mens's 60kg Taekwando
Next chance encounter was with GBR's Bronze Medallist in Men's 80kg Taekwando Lutalo Muhammad as he walked past Team NGR on his way to Main Dining. Big Smiles and High Fives from and with him - a very nice guy!
Algeria - Taoufik Makhloufi
GOLD - Mens's 1500m
Ending with a photo opportunity with the Algerian Gold medallist from the men's 1500m - Taoufik Makhloufi. Who I had seen before as I celebrated his win in the stadium with some Algerian Athletes who were ecstatic aka went mental at Taoufik's victory. I had tried to capture part of Taoufik's victory lap - the moment his fellow athletes gave him an Algerian flag....
Taoufik IS in there!
