my final london 2012 blog


MY FINAL LONDON 2012 BLOG

 

Great Britain and Ireland did a lot better than either countries wildest expectations.  Britain having 108 medals 31 gold, 39 silver and 38 bronze medals with help from David Weir who got 4 gold medals, Ellie Symons who got gold silver and bronzes and Sarah Story who equalled the British record held by Dame Tanne Grey Thomson.

Ireland had 16 medals…. 8 gold 3 silver and 5 bronze medals. They had help from team NI with Micheal Mc Killop and Jason Smyth on the track getting 2 gold medals each and  also Irishman Mark Rohan getting two on the hand cycle.
 
Great Britain say thank you to their fans today  while Ireland return to their homes as they are all tired.

I do apologize but I can not get the link for the history of the Paralympics that Rosie Maguire gave me.

Working on the Paralympics was very exciting and it did not feel like work I enjoyed it very much and would like to thank Rosie, Tracy Mearns and Keiran Quinn for teaching me the basics of a blog. I did have help from my family correcting what mistakes I had made but every day I wanted to report on what was coming next. I really enjoy working at something I have such an interest in. I tried to do it as well as I could and hope it was good enough.

I would also like to thank you the reader for reading my blog whenever you had the time to do so I hope that you got as much enjoyment out of reading it as I did writing it.

Well done Barry, I really enjoyed reading your blog every day and even read it in Spain when I was on holidays.

Barry your blog has been really super. You have worked so hard and been so dedicated to it. Everyone who has read it has been very impressed. Time to take a rest now before your next project.

Barry-we all enjoyed your blog. It was fantastic. Look forward to the next Olympics when you can do it all again-if you don't do another one beforehand :-)
