6 August - A Big Olympics Day For Us
Today Holly and dad went to the Volleyball at Earls Court stadium in the morning. We saw Australia play Poland (Polska) and Russia play Serbia. Poland are the gold medal favs and Russia current world champs.
We didn't know who we were seeing before we got there but were so surprised to see Australia. How good was that! There were very few Aussies fans there compared to Polish people but we made lots and lots of noise. The stadium was packed with 15,000 spectators.
Do you believe it. Australia won 3 sets to 1. It apparently is the biggest win ever in Australian Volleyball history. It gives Australia a chance to make the top 8 play-offs and most likely knocks Poland off top spot in the group.
Then we watched the Russians demolish Serbia in 3 sets. They were big and smashed the ball everywhere.
As we left we checked out the Olympic torch and got a photo with some nice but crazy Polish fans.
Elodie, Erin and mum went to the park in Brockwell Gardens at Susys and had morning tea and then went to the new adventure park which was great.
We all met at Victoria station and then got the tube to Wembley. We arrived early and went inside the stadium and had fish and chips.
The stadium was incredible. It was reconstructed about 5 years ago. It is probably the most famous stadium in the world. We saw the Womens Football Semi Final between Japan and France. Japan are the current world champs. The stadium was full except for 2 small sections at each end which were empty - not sure why. The crowd was over 70,000.
Dad went for Japan and us girls went for France. Elodie went for France because - do you believe it - no 12's name was Elodie. She turned out to be the best player on the field by far. She was a striker. She was tall and dark skinned, had long dark hair and wore fluoro green Nikes to go with the France strip of blue and white. She was very skillful.
Japan ended up winning 2-1. France missed a penalty which would have sent it to overtime and maybe penalty shoot-out. Dad said Japan deserved to win because they were generally more skillful and controlled possession much better than France.
We caught the tube back and got home about 9.30pm and went to bed soon after after a big day.
Oh yeah - we spoke to big brother Nathan on skype. He was at Melbourne airport leaving for London.
