Month End - Number of Posts per Olympic Sport

Finally news on our tickets from Sportsworld. From our list of 23 major requests we have have 12 sets of tickets. Most disapointing is that we have no swimming or cycling tickets. We have got tickets for the Opening Ceremony, but will have to wait on the Closing Ceremony, as they have asked for more.

However, we will also be at the Rowing and the last two nights of the Athletics. We have to wait now to see what the ticket situation is before we request ticvkets for other events.

September was a big month, in terms of Olympic qualification, but things are quiet in October.
