Au Revoir Paris

That's that then, the Olympics have come to a close and it's congratulations to the USA who pipped China to the top of the pile by 17 silver medals and well done to Australia who came 4th, three places above Great Britain who ended up 7th which means i will be leaving an envelope on a certain Australian colleagues desk tomorrow morning.
The Paris Olympics really was a feast for the eyes, the choice of the venues was amazing and Paris has more than it's fair share of historical sites from the breathtaking Palace of Versailles to the imposing Eiffel Tower but what have we learnt from the Gold winning Athletes from around the World?
Well if you want to shoot an arrow off someones head or kick them in it, get a South Korean who won the most golds for Archery and Taekwondo  but if you want to get somewhere really quick on a river go for a Kiwi canoeist or a Dutch rower.
An Uzbekistan bouncer would be a great choice as they are taking home 5 Gold boxing medals but a Japanese athlete would be just as good as they wiped the floor with everyone in the Wrestling and Judo  
and they are very handy if you have to make a get-away through a pipe as they ruled the skateboard park.  Get yourself a German if your horse is looking a bit jaded as 4 Equestrian Golds show they know one end from the other but grab an American if you need to run or swim really fast or if you are inclined to throw a ball through a hoop as they ruled the track, the pool and the basketball court.
If you are planning Jumping off things into water and then splashing around in style you need a Chinese as they took the most Golds in the Diving and Artistic swimming and if you need something heavy moved
they are great at Weightlifting.
The bulbs may be dimming on the City of Lights but fortunately only for a couple of weeks because on the 28th August the Paralympics begin so we can do it all over again...Paris, je t'aime!!
