Is it just me, or are athletes winning medals at London 2012 breaking down in tears more than any Olympics I have seen before?
I have a feeling the global state of affairs right now – totally screwed – is responsible.
The Olympics have come at a time when the world was badly in need of a pep-up.
Economy, environment, morality, life - all in the toilet.
So, the Olympics do give much hope.
Not just to us watching, but to those competing as well.
Cue the tears.
