I'm a 38 yr old man at the time and I was nearly crying my eyes out with pride and passion, screaming at the t.v, go mo go mo while my baby slept upstairs, finally as a nation I felt all British people united, didn't matter what colour, race, religion, we kicked ass together, we were all behind mo (along with the competition, lol). Mo you made me very proud to be part of a multi cultural Britain.
tony davis love your comment Tony Davis I'm originally from Somalia and you made me proud to be British now. This is what makes Great Britain great people like you so thank you.
Poot Your opinion don't count in this go and find like minded people like you. Your what's wrong with this world right now. You will not get nowhere in life.
Agreed with Tony. Good stuff by all but Poot. Personally I was shouting as much as Colin Jackson on behalf of Mo - rightfully now Sir Mo, a true Brit in all but the accident of where any of us are born. There's nothing wrong with Patriotism but it can easily develop into xenophobia and small-mindedness.
Superbly put - apart from 'ass' when we less Yankified Brits say arse - but I admit that I too was screaming COME ON MO ad infinitum. This country thrives because of/not despite multi-culturalism.
The commentary was outstanding, if you watch other tv networks coverage of the last couple of laps, none of them capture the moment as well as those two did.
I was lucky enough to be in the stadium for this and 80,000 people were jumping up and down like Denise & Colin. Was great to see this clip when i got home still buzzing. These behind the scenes shots of olympic greats as excited as the rest of us has been a highlight of the olympics. Well done BBC for showing them.
I'm a little surprised that rewatching this in 2024 I still get chills, still experience the hype, still get a little emotional and proud. 2012 was a wonderful Olympics for the UK, and a wonderful event for the British people. I have never seen such unity, such positivity, such widespread joy. I travelled down from Scotland to attend a couple events and it was magnificent. There had been concerns and some bad press that it was felt necessary to bring in the army to help with logistics and security, and all the soldiers I saw and spoke to in and around the park were in great spirits, their presence in no brought anything down. The volunteers were smiling everywhere. The weather was wonderful, there was peace and unity. We the public quickly grew to love Mo Farah. Really love him, and admired his story, and felt such tremendous pride and gratitude that he chose to be one of us, to fly flag and represent us. It was part of a very good, very just and very healthy form of patriotism you don't often see nowadays. A pride in the good you and your people could do, in effort and satisfaction at a job done well. A pride that came from admiration and appreciation of others, and appreciation for how this can lift the spirits and inspire and motivate. It was for me a glimpse of the United Kingdom at our very best, and a short-lived but wonderful example of what we can be in the UK, in the British Isles, in western Europe. And that is a very bittersweet memory for me now.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! I was lucky enough to be there for the 10,000 and to say the atmosphere was electric doesn't do it justice!! SO PROUD at the way these olympics have been conducted!!
By far my favourite Olympic Games, was in the UK at the time with my gorgeous ex-girlfriend, and the buzz and feeling all through those weeks amongst the British public was brilliant. Super Saturday will forever live in my memory, as will the closing ceremony for entirely different reasons 😉
I'm Kenyan. Let me just say that Denise Lewis is beautiful! Wow! To my hero Michael Johnson, we still remember your world records. Colin Jackson, if I do recall, you came to our country alongside Usain Bolt and we gave you a deer or something. Bolt got a Cheetah. You had your world record for a long time.
Cram really learnt a lot from David Coleman when he became part of the BBC commentary team I think before Coleman retired , the Kelly Holmes commentary in the 800 m ,I remember screaming at the TV , and cram comments on the race was outstanding . still gives me goosebumps watching that race ,as Coleman did with Ann packer,
Really? Because he was doing much for quite a while, teamed up with a coach who was notorious for doping his athletes, had a training partner who could only take silver behind him fail a drugs test and the couldn’t hear the doorbell when the drug testers did call round unexpectedly. But let the delusion continue why not.

I want this year back 😭
tear up everytime with crammy...incredible commentary
standing beside him another Legend, Brendan foster.
I agree, he also knew when to keep his mouth shut after Mo won and let the audience take it in.
One of the great commentaries.
“The arms have got to pump, the knees have got to come up high!”
Still makes the spine tingle!
The commentary was outstanding, if you watch other tv networks coverage of the last couple of laps, none of them capture the moment as well as those two did.
I'm going to miss Denise's celebrations. But this shows why she is great for her new job. She cares so passionately about British Athletics.

We need commentary like that in every sport day in day out I got goosebumps

Goosebumps
Thankyou :)
Steve Cram, gold medal commentating! One of the best!
Beautiful x
My son was born on that very day and I named him after Mohammad farah❤️😊
Some athletes are hard to not love. Mo Farrah is one of them.
Really? Because he was doing much for quite a while, teamed up with a coach who was notorious for doping his athletes, had a training partner who could only take silver behind him fail a drugs test and the couldn’t hear the doorbell when the drug testers did call round unexpectedly. But let the delusion continue why not.
woow what a great commentator.
Steve Cram brilliant commentary
I'm happy with him to win
Forgot how beautiful that stadium used to be
Absolute crazy amo Farrah has smashed this one
Nobody compensates on sport like we do we are a passionate lot
Just was best Olympics of all time
Colin Jackson sounds like he's playing a clarinet
Summer when all stood together b4 Brexit, Farage, Tommy Israelson, Douglas Murray, Melanie Phillips & Katie Hoodwink
Luv Big Brens smile !!!!
I was rooting for Galen Rupp. He ran well. 2nd place silver medal!
