A volunteer speaks...

1. Best moments: This is the same as for my dustiest moments really (filled this in back to front) but in summary, torch relay, torch entering the stadium, lapping the stadium and ultimately building the cauldron; all of the Team GB medals, particularly the ones which were a long time coming and/or multiple and/or career ending, e.g. Ennis, Farah, Grainger, Hoy, Pendleton. Jake Humphrey’s interview with Frank Skinner, comparing notes over what had made them cry and Jake saying: “the atmosphere in London is just incredible, call me dramatic but it really feels like this week the world has changed” AMAZING!!!! Being part of it, I was so proud to put my Games Maker uniform on each day and giving nearly 100 hours of my time, paying around £600 to interview, train and attend the whole thing felt like a privilege, something I will never forget.

2. Favourite athlete you’d never heard of before: I can’t remember life before the Olympics to be honest so I’m not sure who I hadn’t heard of before!

3. Favourite sportsman/sportswoman – Tough choice but for longevity I’ll go with Hoy for the boys then it’s Ennis for the girls for me.

4. Favourite performance – ah, so hard to pick but I’d say Grainger for her storming win, Ennis for her slamming of the Heptathlon and pretty much everything from the Veledrome! Oh and Farah, ah, ALL OF TEAM GB!!!!

5. Favourite medal - Non GB? All of Bolts, what a dude. Also David Boudia in the 10m Platfom Diving, mainly cos it WASN’T CHINA!!!

6. Favourite Team GB medal – ahh, so hard to pick just one! Hoy and Pendleton’s Keirin ones, Trott’s omnium one, both of Farah’s, Ennis’s and the double skulls girls, so unexpected Also, Tom Daley has to get a special mention, def the happiest Bronze Medal winner of the games, and deservedly so

7. Favourite bit of punditry- Clare Balding for me, absolute star. She so clearly loved every minute of it, her Twitter commentary along the way was ace too, she was as humunahed as we were. Also really liked Thorpe and HEARTED Cav, bless him, blates the only cyclist in Team GB without a medal?:(

8. Favourite venue – Gotta be the Olympic Stadium, walking in and feeling the warmth of the cauldron and the roar of the crowd for Team GB is something I will never forget. BT Live comes a close second for me though, amazing atmosphere every time, excellent use of confetti canons on the main screen at the point of every GB gold

9. Favourite thing you witnessed live & direct (if any) – Mo Farah’s 5k win from Hyde Park, EVERYone around us was up on their feet jumping and screaming for his entire last lap, INCREDIBLE atmosphere, likewise for the velodrome golds. Also taking the Hyatt boys to Hyde Park on Super Saturday and witnessing 3 golds in less than an hour at Eton Dorney with a red/white/blue confetti canon going off each time, Thomas Hyatt bouncing around: “WE’RE AT THE LIMPICS!!”; Unadulterated support for Cav and the team in the last few km of the Men’s Road Race, despite being 57 seconds behind at Fulham, it really felt like our cheers could help him get into medal position. Seeing Ennis break her record in the hurdles was pretty special too. Not quite live and direct but I missed my train home on Men’s Tennis Final day so was able to watch Murray storm to victory on my phone. As he played the last few points, I realised that there were loads of pockets of people around me huddled around phones and iPads doing the same as me. As he aced that last point, everyone cheered around me then the tanoy announced his gold and the whole station roared, amazing

10. Favourite stat (made up or real)- Andy Murray at his peak fitness can run the 400m in 49 seconds – Mo’s last 400 after 9600m run was 43 seconds.

11. Favourite Redgrave Hug – Grainger and the 2 silver boys he practically lifted out of the boat. Hoy of course too

12. Face of the Games: Mo Farah, particularly his expression as crossing the line and Tom Daley

13. Mathias Steiner Saharan award for Dust – gotta be Hoy for me, particularly when he was interviewed in the studio afterwards saying it was his allergies acting up whilst on the podium – LEGEND!

14. Your dustiest moments – oh god, the whole bloody thing, I felt hungover every day due to loss of fluids! Every Team GB gold and medal ceremony. The whole lighting of the torch by stars of the future then the nations coming together in one giant torch (choking as I write this). The rings coming together at the beginning of the ceremony, amazing. Chris Hoy winning his last medal, Jessica Ennis striding to victory in her last event. EVERY BBC montage throughout the event, particularly the one at the end in the build-up to the closing ceremony with Reggie Yates talking about the community spirit in London; and the one before the Opening Ceremony detailing the journey of the torch, HUMUNAHHH!

15. Derek Redmond Limping award for Bravery – she wasn’t limping per se but that Syrian (I think, some other repressed country maybe *ignorance face*) who was in the 800m I think it was. She came over a lap behind everyone else but was grinning the whole time then when being interviewed afterwards, she couldn’t stop grinning, she was so proud to be there representing her country, way gorge

Ed's note: it was Sarah Attar, the Californain Saudi

16. One to watch in 2016 Johnson Thompson in the heptathlon, Adam Gemili in the sprints – he’s no Bolt but considering he only started running in January this year, 3rd in the semi-final was pretty impressive! All the young veledrome cyclists, they were amazing! Tom Daley too. Is this limited to GB? If not, I’d put Blake in here too.

17. Best Celebration: Tom Daley and the double skulls girls. Andy Murray too, climbing into the crowd and saying afterwards, he’d always dreamed of doing that after watching his heroes do it when he was younger. Also, that lovely girl boxer who when asked what she would do to celebrate replied “Ah, I just wanna go to Nandos”, haha!

18. Best quote: girl from the double skulls “We won the Olympics” and Hoy’s mum in the audience of the Keirin after watching through split fingers as he crossed the line: “Thank god for that”; Mr De Clos as quoted by Lily Allen on Twitter allegedly said after De Clos beat Phelps: “Wow, that’s it, I can die happy now”

19. Villain: Japanese gymnasts in the Men’s Team event, that aussie bitch who pushed Pendleton, Farah’s mardy wife, Trevor Nelson in the Opening Ceremony – SHUT UP MAN. Twitter trolls.
