I think it is fantastic that young people from across the area are getting excited about the Olympics.
It's easy to moan about how much the Games will cost and about the disruption that they could cause, but I think it's important that the community spirit that they will generate should be recognised.
Hopefully a generation of young people will be bitten by the fitness bug and will take up sports that they may never have considered trying before. I also hope that it instills a sense of pride in the young people of this country and makes them feel proud to be British.
