Simon managed to get tickets for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. On August 7 we visited the Olympic Park and had a good look around this massive site before watching a handball game between the Koreans and the Russians in a ladies' quarter-finals match. This game was held in the Copperbox and the atmostphere in there was really great. On August 31 we had tickets for the Velodrome and the Athletics and again the atmosphere was great in both venues and the paralympic cyclists and athletes really deserved the great ovations they received for their achievements.
