…And the Country’s They’re From
Homes, pubs, and our very own capital city are currently enjoying one of the most exciting sporting events in the world, watching as 10,000 athletes compete against the best in the world.
A week ago competitors from 204 countries arrived at the Olympic village and since then have appeared on TV in hundreds of events, from the sprints to the marathon as part of the London 2012 Olympics. Some Olympians are better known than others like Golden girl Jessica Ennis, while some have already won surprise gold medals like Greg Rutherford in the long jump, but their home countries have all been watching proudly as they sweat it out to claim gold medal victories.
