This week marks 500 days to go until Rio de Janeiro hosts the 31st Olympiad on Friday 5th August 2016.
London 2012 exceeded everyone's expectations - the crowds, the atmosphere and the performances - 29 golds, 17 silver and 19 bronze which took us to third behind only the US and China.
Boxer Joe Joyce who won the Super-Heavyweight crown at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has set his sights on adding the Olympic title as well.
Seb Coe and his team built on the roller-coaster of the winning bid to lead a world-class games experience. Three years down the line we are still enjoying the effects of sports participation and British athletes doing well. The Olympic park is being transformed into a lasting legacy and I look forward to be at the stadium again this year for the Anniversary Games.
