My family and I were very lucky to get to 4 sessions (WET and MFT). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We'd seen the set up on the telly so were not surprised nevertheless still in awe. Has there been any better staging anywhere in the world? I'd love to see that if there was.
We found everything from getting to the hotel, hotel to venue, security, venue, facilities (subject to the one water point) very very good. Made even better by the ranks of games makers. I felt so proud of the job everyone was doing and how GB was being potrayed. Excellent!
Couple of hiccups over names of fencers (we're all human) and some video reffing decisions that make me question whether I should bother trying to get the next level ref qualification as I'd have overturned some (what I thought were) outrageous decisions. And will we all now card for the Joppich like head tilt as carded in the semi v Japan?
The 1 hour plus appeal in the WE semi I put down to FIE and not the London 2012 organisers.
So overall a first class job. Skill Drama Controversy Emotion => Fencing
