Ready, Steady, Go! I had a great time yesterday evening. After having dinner outside in the garden, we decided to go and watch an athletics competition nearby. At first, I thought it was a run-of-the-mill event with local athletes but it turned out they had invited a field of international athletes, some of them with Olympic experience. My six-year-old daughter was very much impressed, especially by the pole-vault contest. The 100-metre dash was also amazing. As we were very close to the track, we could feel the energy bursting out of the athletes every time they dashed just in front of us. It was sensational!
