±«Óãtv

Hi, I'm out here in Beijing as part of the ±«Óãtv TV presenting team.

It's my first Olympic experience and at the time of writing i'm pretty overwhelmed!

Having grown up watching the likes of Sharon Davies, Matt Pinsent, Colin Jackson and of course Sue Barker, it feels quite surreal to be part of their broadcast team.

My shift here in China involves a late alarm call and an even later crawl back to bed.

I'm on air every afternoon until 6pm UK time, which is 1am here in Beijing so I'm hoping Dorota the make-up artist is a whizz with the concealer...those bags will never even show!

Hope you enjoy our coverage whether it is on TV and via your red button, online or on radio...it's set to be some fortnight!
