London marks 2 years to go until 2012 and while the excitement has been building up for some time now, London seems set to take on the Games in 2012. We are on track with our preparations and I have no doubt that the London Olympics will live up to all expectations. The eyes of the world will be on us - it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate our country and showcase our sporting talent.
With 2 years to go, the press have been focusing on the athletes and asking them what their thoughts are on the fast-approaching Games – check out the BBC’s Olympic video wall:
You will find Chrystall Nicoll representing us fencers on the wall too. Also, Anna Bentley and Marcus Mepstead appeared on the ITV news as they spent the day having a look around the Olympic site – check it out! http://www.itv.com/london/olympic-hopefuls85140/
I also did some filming for The Telegraph TV which you can watch below:

It was a fun day and it certainly reminded me how amazing it would be to have the chance to compete in front of a home crowd at the London Olympic Games. Today’s press has been inspiring and motivating. I am going to carry on training hard to give myself the best possible chances of qualifying for the Olympic Games. The greatest prize of all.
