WITH the opening of the 30th Olympiad Games in London 2012, I have to say that it was what I expected of the ceremonies which were very satisfying…Bravo to the British/organising committee. A memorable moment to be treasured for me was to witness seven billion small white pieces of paper dropping from a helicopter over the Olympic Stadium just after the Great Britain Team entrance and it’s a representation of each of the seven billion people in the world.

The fun moments to my mind was to witness, the statue of Sir Winston Churchill waving towards the helicopter transporting  Queen Elizabeth II in company of the current James Bond (Daniel Craig), the Queen parachuting, and Mr. Bean as part of the choir during the playing of the theme song from the Oscar award movie, Chariots of Fire.

As much as some countries have been making global headlines in recent times, I was elated to witness the presence of their respective sports ambassadors.
I will forever keep that hope that through the Olympic Games of friendship, we will continue to make a greater effort for a healthier growth as we move forward as global partnerships in friendship.

Team Guyana, bravo with your presence during the opening ceremony…
