Third Feedback from the German Group
After the extremly exciting table tennis game from yesterday in the ExCel arena with our German guy Dimitry Ovtcharov we had some further highlights on our plan for today! So we had another short night(we arrived 12pm in The Camp) and took our breakfast at 8.40am. After some toast and coffee we cut all participants into 2 groups. One group gone to a near golf course to do some practice in golfing! This was a lot of fun and after knowing the tricks behind the Tee-Off you can fast get a good distance over 150m. The second group get a lesson in horse riding (and there were not only girls in group :-) ). After the group was driven to the riding school (like always from our lovely driver Toni) all participants had to fill in the formals and get some shoes included helmet for the secure! After it, there was the first meeting with the mounts. Everybody was extremly excited, because the most of the group were beginner! So than everybody get some training in handling a horse and feeling comfortable on it. A great and exciting hour was finished with taking the horses to their stables and doing some pictures with them! All in all you can say that it was a great experience for everybody and an unforgetable morning! After the short journey home we had a nice lunch with tuna, olives and some other delicatesses. So we were well prepared to go to the next point for the day....SHOPPING! The group took the tube to Stratford and visited the shopping centre which is bigger than some villages of our youth exchange participants :-) but this was just the intermediate stop for the concluding highlight of the day. We visited the Earl's Court Arena in the west of London to go to the Volleyball games between USA-China and Brasil-North Korea. This was the next opportunity to absorb this crazy feeling to be a part of Olympic Games. The mood in the arena was amazing and the vibes between the different countries were everytime solidaric and fair! Everybody get a new experience to see some sport live which you had never seen before. The last point on the shedule was the 1h home journey to the camp where we enjoyed our last night in our tents to go on Thursday back to Manchester for visiting Old Traffort and so on...

Second feedback from the German group
Since it's our last day in london, we want to recap the last days.
After we watched badminton in the arena next to the Wembley Stadium,
our next day, unfortunately, did not include any olympic events.
Nevertheless, we had lots of fun. In the morning we came together in
small mixed groups and created new olympic disciplines. They included
a lot of difficult and even funny tasks. One was a mix out of football
and cricket; an other one included running a parcour without loosing
water in a cup, held by the athlete; the third created sport was a
little bit like football with four teams who had to score in the goals
of the others and one team is out if a goal is scored against them.
The last team on the field wins. Last but not least, one team created
a raley, including different stations with excercises like rolls,
sit-ups and so on. After lunch, we then came all together and just
competed in these disciplines. It was very entertaining for all of us,
the Germans and the English. In the evening, we went to a German
evening, where we got food and drinks and enjoyed being together with
German officials and organisators from the German part of the
exchange. Around midnight we left the place and had some time to
experience London at night.
On Tuesday, we went to Go Ape, a high rope course located next to our
camping site. Climbing through the trees was great fun and everyone
completed the courses. Afterwards we had some spare time in London.
The group split up and the smaller groups went for different
activities, going from sightseeing to shopping. In the evening we went
to the ExCel arena to watch volleyball. Especially for the Germans, it
was a great experience, because it was the quarterfinals and Dimitri
Ovtcharov was competing for the German team against Michael Haze from
Denmark. The atmosphere was great in the arena and there were lots of
people cheering for each of the competitors. In the end, Ovtcharov
won, and we were really happy for being part of this great atmosphere
and watching a match, where a guy from a youth exchange participating
country won.
Today after breakfast we split up in three groups, one group went
golfing on the driving range and two groups went horse riding.
We look forward for the evening, where we will go to Earl's court
watching women volleyball.

Feedback session from the German group.
After 4 day we have the feeling that we are in Bradfort/Manchester/London since two weeks. We have so much impressions and expiriences. To know each other games was great. We felt the olympic spirit before the games began, because all of us played togester the german "Strohpuppe/Zweifelderball" and the english "Cricket". Kayaking was great, all germans know that because they live near of the "Speewald". For the most of us this traditional game "cricket" was complitely new. Amazing was the moment, when we hold the real Olympictickets in our own hands. To see the olympic final in roadrace womans in front of the westminster was the highlight of the fourth day. Very interesting for us was the trip through Bradefort. The gallery with the sportphotos transport the sportspirit very good. likewise particular was to see Saira photos in the gallary of olympic womansboxing. Our Youthexchange started with a very emotional moment. Every one of us make a picture with the torchbar wich was in using through the run of London! Amazing!!! We are all very agog what will be in the next days....EP...Thank You...
