My time at the OLYMPICS!!!!!

Hi sorry I haven't posted sooner!! Been mega busy!!

My time at the Olympics was incredible one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I have experience so many new things whilst working at the Olympics. I have made new friends and contacts for work later on in the year.

I had to do numerous jobs when I was at the Olympics such as looking after the rest of the OBS team in the Excel centre to going to the IBC (International Broadcast centre) to collect uniform etc. I also went around the BIOs (Broadcast Information Office) and CCRs (Commentary Conference Room) around the venues as there were a few of them because they were in each arena in the Excel where different games were on.

I really really really enjoyed it!! It was such a good experience to get a look inside the Olympic world and how it all works behind the scenes. I am going to apply to work in the Olympics in 2016 for just the experience at the least.

I went to see different games too. I saw almost all of the games in the Excel centre and went to go and see Jessica Ennis and Mo win golds on the Saturday night. The atmosphere was incredible!! I was so overwhelmed with happiness. It had to be one of the best days of my life!

I also went into the OB Vans which was amazing I was with the American OBS crew which was filming Wrestling. It was very interesting to see how that went on. Even though there were a few mishaps here and there behind the scenes the actually footage which the audience could see was fine!

This has been one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget it!!
