Building an Olympic 'Lego'cy

So we’re all getting excited about the Olympics coming to London!? (Well some of us are). Admittedly, it is very London centric, and for those living in the North I can see why they all feel a bit peeved. I was peeved the day my £500 ticket gamble resulted in no Olympic tickets at all. Yes, the system for buying tickets was dreadful and rewarded those with more money to gamble with, but if you persevered like me, getting a ticket was possible. I’ll be off to see the reigning Olympic water polo champions Hungary play Montenegro as well as World Champions, Croatia, play Spain – this is quite exciting! I’ve also bagged some ticket to see the game of ‘Handball’ played in the basketball arena. Handball is not only a term used in football to denoting cheating, it’s also a bizarre sport played avidly by countries such as Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. By all accounts it’s super fast paced and you’re guaranteed at least 20 goals at each end! Some say it’s a mix between football (without your feet), netball and basketball, we shall see!

What excited me nearly as much as bagging some Olympic tickets was the release of 9 Lego minifigures representing the British Olympic Team! Anyone who knows me will also know I love Lego, particularly the minifigures. I’m also a bit of a pro at feeling the little foil packets to work out which figure is inside. This said, I did find the latest bunch of minifigures difficult to work out, but you’ll be happy to know I still managed to find them all! And here they are! Ace!:
