I have now been in the Olympic Village for over a week.
The village is very nice as I said before and there are even arcades set up for the athletes along with numerous Internet cafes.
However even with all this I’m very bored due to the fact that I'm so anxious to compete.
It has now been six weeks since I last competed at the CAC championships and I'm itching to get on that runway!
Training has been going very well and I believe my coach and I have finally resolved my fouling problem, and I’m ready to put these corrections into effect.
The opening ceremony on Friday was amazing. Walking in to the stadium was of course breathtaking — I mean 204 countries of the world and 6,500 different languages and every one was thinking the exact same word...dream.
Every single person in that parade was realizing a dream walking into the stadium and at that moment I felt connected to every Olympian in history.
Tyrone best wishes to you... do you train at the actual track or is there a dedicated athletics training facility?
