We travelled from Liverpool to London on the Thursday and stayed over night in a hotel. Then at half 9 Friday morning everybody from street athletics met up in St Pancras where I started my interviews about how and why the young people (who are last year’s winners) were going to Paris, and how they found out about Street Athletics.

When we arrived at Paris we had a chat with young athletes in the “La salons du relais gare Paris est” hotel. After this we took off to our hotel and checked in then headed to Stade de France to watch the athletics. It was great because me and Jordan went to watch Darren Campbell get interviewed on BBC Five Live radio and went sort of backstage if you like, then we went on a tour around France after the athletics on the tour we stopped at the Eiffel Tower which was all lit up at midnight we all had 10 minutes to take photos and do what ever we liked. We then got back on the coach went for a late MacDonald’s, ate that went to bed about 2 o clock and never got up for breakfast.
