"Faster, Higher, Stronger"

Last photo i took before leaving the Olympic Park, best weather with the sun setting behind the Olympic Park and massive Orbit.

Standing for the national anthems of Great Britain and Russian Federation before the start of the second womens basketball games. Doubt i will ever feel the great vibe of 80% of the crowd singing "God save the Queen" So proud.
