Ok, so its not really travelling but the Olympics wont be here again for a while, so i ought to keep a record of what i have seen. So on the day that Wiggins won one of two golds for GB, i went to Excel to see:
Mens 77kg Weightlifting.
Two people were injured, one Xiaojun's Lu Haojie who still finished second with a 360kg total despite only being able to have one clean and jerk, and the South Korean Jaehyouk (reigning Olympic Champion) who withdrew after damaging elbow on 2nd lift.
Cuba's Ivan Cambar Rodriguez third on 349kg and apparently Britain's Jack Oliver finished tenth with his total lift of 310kg - although this was earlier in the day.
Thailand's Chatuphum Chinnawong had the most emtertaining support, strangely compared by the "mascot" who happened to be at the Hua Hin tennis i went to in December!

The organisation was really good, plenty of people to show you where to go, even someone in the gents ushering people to the nearest urinal when they came free!
Mens 77kg Weightlifting.
Won by China's Xiaojun Lu's with a world record 175kg snatch and a world record total of 379kg when combined with his clean and jerk. It could have been better as there was confusion over the time he had for his third snatch, so he only had two attempts (the second being the world record).
Cuba's Ivan Cambar Rodriguez third on 349kg and apparently Britain's Jack Oliver finished tenth with his total lift of 310kg - although this was earlier in the day.
