On Saturday morning the route of our regular Saturday morning walking tours of Birmingham was cordoned off in preparation for a special service. 20 US athletes and 10 Jamaican athletes were among more than 200 people at the service held at St Philip’s Cathedral.
The US track and field team have been based at the Alexander Stadium whilst the Jamaican team have been training at the University of Birmingham.
Of course we will be cheering for Team GB, but we will be keeping an eye on both the Jamaican and US teams and cheering for them when they are not up against a GB team member.
Hope to catch the opening ceremony on the big screen in Victoria Square.
