Well, it was what the whole of Daegu had been waiting for, almost all. I was never particularly interested in going to watch the athletics, I didn't think I was interested and in an attempt to cut unnecessary outgoings I decided against it. I'd never even heard of Usain Bolt, shameful I know. But when the time came and everyone I knew seemed to be going, I began to regret my decision. By the time the second Saturday came round, I was pretty desperate to go but all the tickets were sold out.
Some friends said there were touts outside the stadium selling tickets at face value during the week, so me and Rebecca went along on Saturday afternoon to chance getting a ticket. Well, after thirty minutes of trying to get tickets things were starting to look a bit grim. We almost bought some tickets at 100,000W but came to our senses thankfully because we then met a British international school teacher with spare tickets. He had bought tickets for the parents and children at his school but a few didn't turn up. After a tense fifteen minutes of waiting with him, in-case they turned up, the tickets were finally ours for just 14,000! We were very happy with ourselves. It could very easily have been a different story. We had a lot of fun watching the high jump and a few races and I even got slightly swept away in the moment when Usain Bolt won the 200 metres final.
