The London 2012 Olympic Games

The Olympic Games were in London from 27 July-12 Aug. First was the opening ceremony which lasted more than 2 hours but it was worth it! It was so beautiful, very well acted and the entrance of the queen was awesome! And, there was even SKYDIVING FROM A HELICOPTER! Supposedly the queen did this (wink wink). After an eventful and thrilling 2 weeks the final medal count was as follows: 1st USA with 104 medals Gold 46 Silver Bronze 29 2nd China with 88 medals Gold 38 Silver 27 Bronze 23 3rd GBR with 65 medals Gold 29 Silver 17 Bronze 19 Hosting the 2012 Olympic games and Paralympics was extraordinary and fun to watch. It was certainly a once in a lifetime event!
