Watching Sally Pearson being presented with her Olympic Gold for the 110m hurdles was lovely – she is a mega athlete, but it was a shame that it happened so late in the evening. Considering the price of tickets and that the actual event only lasts 4 hours, many people started leaving the stadium straight after the 110 mens hurdles finals. We stayed for another 50 minutes to see the end of the decathalon 400m, javelin qualifiers and long jump final. So Sally’s presentation was in front of a half full stadium.
