#7: Beth Tweddle wins her Olympic Medal

Beth Tweddle has been the face of British gymnastics for years. She’s had one heck of a career, winning three world championships, but the one thing she’d never taken home was an Olympic medal.

Tweddle had waited twelve years to get her hands on an Olympic medal. When finally she took home the bronze in Uneven Bars, she was a brilliant reminder to us all that hard work pays off. . . in the end.

Here’s one result that wasn’t a shock to anybody: Rushida winning the 800m gold. We all knew it was going to happen. Hat we didn’t know was that we would witness the greatest 800m race in history and the breaking of the world record.

Rushida’s run was a masterpiece. No performance in the 30^th Olympiad will come close to the perfection with which Rushida ran the 800m. We witnessed a god of running at his finest. Millions will remember this run forever.

This one is bound to split opinions. Just as many people seem to have loved the ceremony as those who disliked it. The opening ceremony may not have been to the likes of all, but there is one thing which cannot be doubted: it was a brave and unique artistic creation by Danny Boyle.
