Yes, I’ve been watching the Olympics and I’ve been happy with Team GB’s progress (once they started progressing, that is), but last night, during a cheese and wine event to celebrate Mrs 6000’s birthday, Sheffield’s own Jessica Ennis taking the gold medal in the Heptathlon was the crowning glory for me.
This photo (from my Dad) is the giant Adidas poster which accurately predicted Ennis’ success on one of the stores in the city centre.
Meanwhile, hundreds of local supporters turned out to watch the whole event on big screens at Don Valley Stadium, where Ennis began her athletics career.
