Occasional blog contributor meets occasional 2012 Bronze medallist and all-round national treasure

Lea Valley White Water Centre

Last year Olympic kayakers, this year a bunch of middle age ladies...

Badminton at the Copperbox

It's legacy, right there...

Olympic park Oct 6 2013

 

Taken from where the Mc Donalds used to be...

 

Moscow Gold Medallist Steve Ovett

After Seb's gold medal last week, we saw this statue of 800m gold medallist Steve Ovett in Brighton today...

Part of the park is now open to the public!

You can get a drink in this café that's suddenly appeared, just where the NBC broadcast area used to be

 

So you can sip Stella and admire the Velodrome. And at Olympic Park prices too!

This was where Springsteen was about five minutes ago. Already under re development. On the other side of the park there's a proper road and a bus route, so it's all starting to look like a normal bit of urban planning, to be honest

Seb Worship

At the Anniversary games they had a British Athletics tent with various bits and pieces in, including Sir Seb's Gold medal for the 1500m at the Moscow Games in 1980. That's quite exciting, isn't it?

 

Sainsbury's Anniversary Games 28th July 2013

It's not the Olympics

 

 

It's Usain Bolt's Rocket

The stadium still looks nice

But that looks odd, doesn't it?

QEOP at Hard Rock Calling Sunday June 30

The Copperbox is still there...

But the big screen has gone

There's still a security boat tootling about..

 

That nice bit with the bandstand has gone

 

But you do get Springsteen playing

 

New signs have gone up at Stratford station
