Ripple Effect
16th August 2008
It won’t surprise you to know that every one working here really loves their sport. We get handed anything at the last minute from archery to wrestling and the interesting thing is, that no matter what it is, we get sucked in to it most of the time, oohing and ahhing with the best of them.
Sometimes something extra special happens. You hear “come on” from one of the darkened corners of VT. Today it was from David and Vicky in the swimming channel.
“Come On,” a little bit louder and insistent. By this time, someone else has looked to see where the calls are coming from. They join in. By the time Becky Adlington was at 700m in her race, everyone in VT was watching the swimming feed.
The excitement as she pulled ahead of the World record (she was already clear of the field at this stage) was infectious. She touched the wall, winning gold and breaking the World Record and everyone in VT was cheering and clapping.
Well done Becky.
