Live from Olympia

Posted by Benn on 19 August 2008 | 7 Comments

Hi all,

First and foremost i wanted to say thankyou to all my well wishes and fans sending me support. It really means a lot to me that you would take the time to send me your thoughts.

Secondly i would like to report on my great year.

So the olympics weren't the best for me, but i can tell you i had the greatest time out there on the concourse. To be honest it hardly felt like i was at the Olympic Games, the place where i had always dreamed of being when i was a little tacker. The atmosphere was amazing and i really enjoyed performing on the world stage in front of 80 odd thousand fans. What an experience.

After my episode in Morocco i really had a hard time finding form again. Those days in hospital and the lost form took me back a fair bit, i just wasn't able to compete against the worlds best at my best.

I did however, have the most amazing year. 66.37 A season best, Top 20 ranking in the world, Australian Record and Olympic Games representative. Wow! I am a happy man.

So for now i'm going to enjoy the atmosphere and watch the discus final. Believing that in London 2012 i will be a force to recon with!!

My tip for the discus Alekna to win.

  • Hey Babe,
    Your respect for your sport, your competitors, your awareness of the priveledged few that you stand amongst, and your love of your family, make you a bigger man than any medal will ever award you. Cant wait to have you home to hear all the gruesome details!! Take care of you
