memorable moments at london olympics 2012

With the London Olympics over, we take a look at the three most memorable moments it has provided us. Every Olympics is different, the athletes stories, the countries fight on the medal table and the wonderful scenery provided by the host nation. Somehow though, London seemed to be that extra bit special. From the opening ceremony, to the final curtain call, the greatest show on earth seemed to have it all. You don't have to be studying Architecture either to appreciate the enormity of putting together an Olympic park like London's. To think that only seven years ago, the host nation hadn't been decided shows just how incredible, pulling off a task like this was.
The Opening Ceremony

Bizarre. British. Brilliant. Three words that sum up the first glimpse we had of the London 2012 Olympics. From the moment the Red Arrows flew over the Olympic stadium, the audience was fixated. As the rolling green hills of old England was transformed into the industrial nation it became, eyes lit up and took in the spectacle. Highlights including James Bond meeting Her Majesty The Queen and Mr Bean's rendition of Chariots of Fire left British audiences laughing out loud, whilst many international viewers were left wondering what all the fuss was about. None the less, as the speed boat, piloted by David Beckham came onto the screen, any national boundaries were disseminated.

Niger Rower

The rower from the landlocked African nation captured the hearts of the world when he completed the 2km boat race. It took Hamadou Issaka almost 9 minutes to row the race at Eton Dorney, almost two minutes slower than the Gold medal time. Issaka had only taken up rowing three months prior though when he was told by his swimming coach to give it a go. His day job as a gardener in the capital of Niger, Niamey may be on the rocks too, after he inspired his nation to take up rowing. Talking after the race, the rookie rower spoke of the support of his home nation, with many wanting to take up the sport as a result. He's put himself forward as a coach too, despite having "no technique". Will Hamadou Issaka inspire Niger and help create an olympic medal in Rio in four years time? Probably not, but we'll be cheering for him anyway.
Usain Bolt

Why did we ever doubt him? At London 2012, Bolt became the greatest sprinter of all time, winning the men's 100m comfortably. After a shaky start and with the world watching, Usain Bolt powered through to make Olympic history. Whilst it wasn't another world record for the Jamaican sprinter, it most certainly captured the Olympic spirit and inspired a generation.
