I was delighted, like the rest of the country, to hear that Peter Wilson has been appointed MBE (BBC News, 29 Dec 12).

When asked to think of a few best Hangouts in 2012, this one shot to the top of the list.

A Hangout with Usain Bolt and Colin Jackson: So excited I forgot to blog it by Mike Downes

On 26 July 2012 Usain Bolt joined Colin Jackson and friends for a Hangout on the official London 2012 Google Plus page.

I was delighted to be asked to be a part of this Event. What a great atmosphere, Colin was a brilliant host and Usain answered two of my questions.

05:00 .. My first question was some fun about running the 100 metres with a cricket ball.

15:00 .. With the second more emotive about sharing the winner's podium with someone special. Listen as Usain talks from th heart about his coach (Glen Mills photographed to the right).

Also in the Hangout were: Larry Fournillier, Christine Bowen, Adam Bayliss Ward and JR.

Come On Team GB with a Melanie C Hangout and the Best Night in British Athletics thanks to Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farrah

Saturday 4 August, 2012 was quite a day for Great Britain. We enjoyed a Team GB Hangout with Great Briton Melanie C in the afternoon followed by the best night in British Athletics ever.

Some celebrities were recruited in June 2012 as Cheerleaders - we all know they weren't needed as the British People are not shy from singing from their hearts. What's brilliant to see is Melanie C taking the time out to Hangout with us. 

Who knows who could be next, I've already met Usain Bolt. Other celebrities include Katherine Jenkins, Davina McCall, Bear Grylls and Reggie Yates. David Walliams and Will Smith have also featured in the odd video meeting Team GB.

As usual, I've made a volley of posts at Google+ and this post serves as the lasso that loops them together.

Which is the most Scientific Sport of the Olympic Games?


With just 90 days to go to London 2012 and with Science everywhere .. why not ask a tough question like this ..

How to start .. have a think about what matters .. nutrition, hand eye coordination, balance, what you wear on your feet, equipment, aero dynamics, stamina, skill or even fashion .. How are we going to agree a checklist that is fair to everyone?

One way .. get some experts involved, talk to some Olympians or even get down to your local park and throw a javelin around .. cc who can help? +Kiki Sanford +Cadbury UK +Rebecca Adlington .. know someone .. leave a comment ..
