A Possible ‘Blink and You Will Miss’ Appearance on My Games at the BBC Today

Posted on August 23, 2008
Sebastian Coe Responds to my Question (the Boss of 2012 London Olympics) at My Games, BBC

Update- OK, I did appear on My Games again today and asked Sebastian Coe how do they plan to make London Hotels a bit affordable and would the underground system cope? He was very gracious in his reply and it was nice to be on My Games and the BBC again (link to video).

I may feature in the last episode of My Games today (23/08/2008) at 6.15 (pm) India time in a blink and you will miss it type of appearance.

The games are slowly inching to a close and what a show it had been. Phelps with his eight gold medal haul, that is more than what entire nations manage to win! And then there is Mr. Thunder Bolt who is also called Lightening Bolt for the way he sprints.

Abhinav Bindra won the 10m Air Rifle Gold Medal, the first ever individual gold ever won by India. But I find Beijing Olympic Games really special because of the two Bronze Medals won by Sushil Kumar and Vijendra Kumar.

Do you have any idea when they are coming to Delhi from Beijing? My nephew wants to go to the airport!

And hopefully Saina Nehwal will get all the support she will need to win at London 2012. With Mittal Champions Trust behind her, who knows.

    I don’t have access to the BBC World News channel for the past few days, courtesy the fabulous local cable TV service operator!

    Sidhu, I will link to the video here, and this was really blink and miss kind of appearance but the question I asked was answered by Sebastian Coe, the chief of 2012 games and the famous 1500 m Olympic gold medalist. That was fun.
