Street Athletics London Finals
Today we have been at the London finals at the Jubilee Gardens, South Bank.
There was a very bad turn out for the Street Athletics Media Crew as they were meant to be six of us but there was only us, but the show must go on and it did!
All the qualified runners from the previous races had come along to compete for a place in Manchester. Unfortunately I didn’t qualify for Manchester but got through to the semi-final. The races were really fast and everyone tried their very best. The weather really didn’t help as it was pouring down with rain and the track was really wet, so lots of falling
occured, but most got up to finish the race in one piece.
The entertainment was at its best with the Kombat breakers doing their fabulous performances, Lemar and Heather Smalls singing in the best of keys and the wonderful 400metre gold medalist at the Beijing olimpics, Christine Ohuruogu was also in attendance.
The talent competition was really good as there was a kid dancing as good as Michael Jackson, a singer who was really good, who gave a true message of peace, two dancing groups giving it all they had.
Well done to all the street athletics competitors and a standing ovation to those who got through.
With the back drop of the London eye, we say goodbye, peaceout hope to see you in Manchester and holla back if you like what you see! Please leave a comment!!
Peace!
Maya and Amber Wright!
