David Beckham is always an upbeat, enthusiastic sort, but he is really, really, REALLY excited about the Olympics. Really, really excited…
Writing in The Sun, Becks has said how proud he is to be involved in the 2012 London Olympics, and that just the though of the opening ceremony gives him goosebumps. He’s also dropped some hints about what to expect from tonight’s big show.
“I have been lucky enough to have been involved in some amazing sporting moments in my career, but nothing can compare with what is about to take place in London,” David writes.
“You can feel the excitement building to a fever pitch wherever you go in the country and I am as excited as anyone. This is an amazing sporting event – probably one of the biggest sporting events in history – and for it to happen now, in London, and especially in the East End of London where I grew up, is just brilliant.
“I know every part of the Games is going to be spectacular and tonight is the night it all kicks off, with the whole world watching Great Britain and the opening ceremony.
“It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. I know I am biased but, what the rest of the world will see, I don’t think any other country in the world could do it better.
What makes Britain great
“No other country could offer an opening ceremony which includes The Queen, our royal family, James Bond, Shakespeare, The Beatles, country villages, NHS nurses, centuries of history and some of the greatest music ever produced. It is an amazing mix that represents exactly what makes Britain so great. Even our weather is special, and it might yet play a part,” David continues.
“I hope everyone in Great Britain is as excited at I am and will enjoy the Games as much as I and my family will.
“I honestly think that, when they see the opening ceremony tonight, everyone will feel as proud as I am of our country, and the rest of the world will be amazed.
It will be one of those moments people will always remember watching. I just can’t wait for it all to start. Let the games begin,” Becks concludes.
