What one event will you be sure to watch when the Olympic Games kicks off?

Cycling – the one with the moped is a good one – or the “who can pedal the slowest” a bit like when you did your cycling proficiency when you were 10”

What has been your most memorable Olympic Games moment of all time?

Beijing closing ceremony – I don’t have a great memory


And how many days into the Games will the London Transport system grind to a halt?

It won’t – London is a tiny city for it’s status and as long as the weather holds, people will walk if they need to – Tube strikes are an inconvenience not a catastrophe when they occur so it will be the same if there are any problems.




 

Name: Matt Edwards

To what extent are you suffering from Olympic fever? 

I am an Olympic fanatic and always have been. Growing up, in the school holidays I would watch everything whether it was an athletics qualifying session or the early rounds of boxing.  I remember watching lots of classic moments like Coe and Ovett in 1980. The Olympics is one of the few things I get quite emotional about.

Where were you when London won the Olympic Games bid?

In an office in Golden square about two months after joining WCRS.  I ran straight down to Trafalgar Square to join the celebrations.


Who are you most keen on seeing bring home a Gold medal for Team GB this summer?

I’d like the women’s handball team to win.  It won’t happen but they have had a huge struggle just to make the games and their commitment is an inspirational story.


If you were a part of Team GB, what event would you most likely be participating in?

Table tennis.  My Dad built a full size table in our garage which I played on a lot when younger.  I’ll play anyone in Engine for a fiver.


What one event will you be sure to watch when the Olympic Games kicks off?

I will watch everything time allows me to see from archery to sailing but if I could only watch one thing I would watch the men’s 4 x 400m final.


And what event will you barely give a second glance?

I’m not mad on Greco Roman wrestling.
