Absolutely adored Singapore, the food, the weather, the people and the architecture, and can't wait to go back, but that will have to wait until next year I am afraid.
But the fun didn't stop there. A night after I arrived back to London I went to Team GB and was trained on coaching by Adrian Moorhouse the Olympic swimmer who beat Karoly Guttler (HU) at the Seoul Olympics, by Sir Clive Woodward and Mark Richardson. The training had a slight boot-camp feeling as having been trained by these sportsmen necessarily means, that there were many sports anecdotes and even more sports videos, but it was an amazing experience to see how Team GB prepares for the Olympics, and also the training was really useful to gather my thoughts around fundraising again. I will revert back to the cooking- baking scheme. I will be end working in the charity shop on Saturdays, it was a great time, but don't have enough free time to do this, now that fundraising is approaching to the end, I need to focus even more on training and fundraising so will be volunteering only occasionally on Sundays at the shop. What I'll do instead is I'll hire food stalls at the local Budgens, and sell diabetic cakes. Will give it a try, people are always up to trying new stuff
But going back to the training Mark Richardson mentioned the story of Karoly Takacs, who was a Hungarian shooter and won two Olympic gold medals, that I wanted to share with you. He was righthanded, and a grenade exploded in his right hand, and he had to learn to shoot with his left hand, and won both Olympic medals shooting using his left hand.
Wiki
His story, and the story of Gyula Gurisatti who is hero from my hometown (sorry video only in Hungarian) attending London 2012, who has been a World Champion in diving but lost both his legs in an accident, just reminds me how amazing will power is, and that however tough moments can be, to stop whingeing, and just keep going.
And that it's less than 40 days until the Olympics, so I need to a Hungarian T-shirt.
HAJRA MAGYAROK.
