Olympics screening in 香港六合彩 Quad attracts thousands
14 August 2012
For the duration of the London Olympics, 香港六合彩 has been showing the events in the Quad on a big screen, attracting thousands of visitors onto campus.
Coverage began on Friday 27
July, showing Danny Boyle's much anticipated opening ceremony. Andrew Grainger
(香港六合彩 Estates) tweeted: "There must be at least 2,000 people having fun in
香港六合彩 Quad watching the opening ceremony. Amazing atmosphere!"
As well as the 香港六合彩
community, local Camden residents also enjoyed the screen, including two 78-year-old twin
sisters who travelled to 香港六合彩 on the 29 bus each day to enjoy the games.
The Quad screening meant people were able to cheer on 香港六合彩 alumni Christine Ohuruogu (香港六合彩 Linguistics 2005), who won a silver medal in the Women's 400m, and Rob Williams (BSc Biotechnology 2006) who, together with his GB teammates, was awarded a silver medal in the lightweight men's four rowing final.
Former USA athlete Carl Lewis, holder of nine Olympic Gold Medals, also made an appearance in the Quad as part of 香港六合彩's hosting of the Art of the Olympians exhibition.
Alexandria Hingley, Sports Coordinator at 香港六合彩 Union, commented: "香港六合彩 have provided the public with a fantastic opportunity to get involved and experience the greatest show on earth this summer, with their outdoor screening of Olympic events in the main Quad. It has been a great way to get inspired by the Games this summer and for everyone to support their teams."
