Closing Ceremony 12th August

So this is it, the last day of the Olympics, I can't believe how fast it has passed.

This morning we had a meeting to assign jobs to each person for the closing ceremony.

Ryan was the spokesman for the meeting where each member of the team was assigned different roles and tasks for the evening. I was put into a group with Michael Naunman and Pat Boylan and asked to interview the British public about perception of their nation's performance in hosting the Olympic Games.

First stop was Trafalgar Square where we were asked to go down to see if a big screen had been installed so that people could watch the closing ceremony, in hope we could conduct the interviews there. So at around five o'clock, myself and Corey, a photographer, headed down to check it out.

Unfortunately there was no big screen, so we decided to head down to Stratford station where we had agreed to meet Michael and Pat. This was where we found our first problem... Finding anyone with this amount of people was a complete nightmare. It took Corey and I nearly half an hour to search and find them which lost us valuable time.

Another few members of the group had been in contact with me by this point saying that they were also struggling to get in anywhere. The whole of the surrounding area of the Olympic village was closed off to people who did not have tickets for events on that day. We were part of that group and despite trying to convince a few security guards to let us through to the GB house to meet the others, we were unsuccessful.

At around eight, we decided to regroup and think of a different strategy. We had been keeping in contact using a facebook group message via Josh Blessing's iPad and I had also been in contact with Katylnn as she was one of the few who had a working British phone.

We met Josh, Katylnn and supervisor of the trip Suzzie.
Suzzie had heard there was a lighting show near Tower Bridge so we decided to get the tube down there and use it is as a backdrop for a filming.
Travelling around the bridge British people weren't common, it was actually an effort to find anyone that spoke good English. Our target audience for the video was after all: British people. But there were so many different nationalities all celebrating the ending of the biggest show on earth. As you can see by the photos we used a very basic camera to record the first few interviews around the Tower Bridge.


Taylor had asked us to get some footage as well as the interviews we had planned previously, so we slotted into the back of the bar and set up the camera. There was a sense of euphoria in the air, everyone in the bar seemed to be enjoying themselves - singing, dancing and having a good time. We then went to the bar where we could hear people were singing along to Wonderwall by Oasis.

The footage you can see on your left was filmed by Michael whilst myself and Pat asked the questions. I was given the short straw as I had to approach everyone and ask if they would mind being interviewed as the American's thought British people would react better to my accent. All in all it was an amazing night, we had a few problems here and there but were able to overcome them and get the job done.

NBC's coverage of the Olympics, as I have mentioned previously - is delayed by 5 hours. This gave us a lot of time to get home and edit the content we had produced. Sadly we missed the BBC's broadcast of the closing ceremony ourselves but I plan to watch it back on iPlayer tomorrow.

Conclusion 12/08/12

I will never forget my time in London this summer. I made many incredible friends, confirmed to myself that I am in the correct profession and witnessed sporting history. It all came to an abrupt end this morning as the Ball State students left on the bus to Heathrow.

Despite only knowing the majority for a matter of weeks, I was sad to see them go and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Chris Taylor, Alex Cartman, myself and fellow British student Aaron Wise had discussed the prospect of University of Worcester students going to Ball State University to complete a module and experience what they had to offer at BSU. A course which vastly differs from Worcester’s course for a number of reasons.

Firstly: Opportunity. The ideology of sport in America differs vastly from how we regard sport in Britain and as a result of sport being taken more seriously, there are many more opportunities for sports journalism. For instance, almost every high school and college game is broadcast on television, each of these games will need commentators, videographers and photojournalists as well as people to write match reports. 

The students we worked alongside from BSU getting vital experience towards their respective degrees. I am not saying that there are no opportunities to do this in Britain, as there are if you apply yourself but there is no where near the same scale or responsibility bestowed on student and trainee journalists. There is almost no chance that you would see a student journalist presenting or commentating on a league one or two football game, whereas in the States Pat Boylan, Brandon Pope and Josh Blessing - who I worked closely with the last month, all have positions as presenters. It seemed to be the norm to get experience like this. 

In our first few days in London back in July did not go well, lack of stories and access to events were a big issue. However, when you consider we only had 6 weeks to prepare ourselves, compared to the year and a half that the Ball State students had – we haven’t done too badly. We have been to several events including getting inside the Olympic village, publishing a number of stories, gaining access to the Team GB house, met the leader of the GB Ambition program and completed a number of interviews with athletes and their families. 

Not only that, we also went live on radio in Indianapolis on a station called 102.5 WMDH which was broadcast to over one million people. All of this whilst working with Ball State sports link on their video production doing stand ups and updates, something I’ve never had the chance to do before. So, despite the scepticism of the first few days where we did not get much done at all, we stayed positive and really made the most of this opportunity. Without a doubt, this was partly down to how friendly and open the BSU students had been in welcoming us into what was effectively their project. Kait Buck immediately gave us idea and showed us outlets that we could publish our work in.

Chris Taylor, Alex Cartman and John Battuelo who I was staying in a flat with, not only showed me their projects but also helped me with my own. They did this by helping to record my interviews, fine tune my stories and generally support me. I have created a short video to give my thanks to all the lecturers and organisers involved in the trip as I am extremely grateful for all the hard work they have put into this project.

Emily Theis - assistant design editor at Ball State Daily News came up with the idea and will be showing them the montage of everyones videos edited together once they get back to America.

However, there were, and always were going to be, ways we could have improved. The most obvious being that we needed much more time to plan for an event of this size. BSU had a team of 40 student journalists from all facets of journalism – PR students, feature writers, photographers and video editors. Whereas we had just 5 students journalists – two of whom didn’t show up and one that only came for two days. This left myself and Aaron as the only British contributions to BSU at the games.

Three things which I will start to work towards from tomorrow is becoming the sports editor for the Worcester University newspaper – the Voice and also contacting Youthcom radio about becoming a presenter. Lastly I will create an online portfolio for my work to showcase myself to future employers. I have also decided to change my dissertation to a video based project – much like the videos created by Ball State students. As I have learnt a lot from them over the summer. Combined with my previous knowledge from A level, I feel I could now produce something that will get me a high grade. Matching the quality of the BSU videos will definitely be a task, but it is a goal I will set myself. Although I may have limitations in terms of equipment. My dissertation will now look at the the legacy of British Basketball after the Olympics, focusing on opportunity, participation, promotion and expansion.


After a meeting with my course leader, she informed that the GB Women's basketball team will be holding training camp at the University of Worcester, this will provide me with a great opportunity to get my footage and interviews. They will be based at the new 1,500 seat arena which is due to be opened in January 2012 and will be home to the BBL team Worcester Wolves. 

The arena is located on Chequers Lane, Worcester, this is the computer construction of what it will look like: 

Worcester University's website says that:
"The Worcester Arena will enable the University to offer unique services to local sports clubs in the community as well as elite and professional athletes around the Midlands. With spacious, high-tech facilities it can look to develop more innovative schemes, whilst also providing a venue that will attract a great range of spectator events to the city. Currently, the University of Worcester provides Worcester County Cricket Club, Worcester Wolves, Aston Villa FC, Birmingham City FC and West Bromwich Albion FC with support in the areas of performance analysis, fitness and nutrition advice."




To your left is a video by Taylor Bussick that sums up our journey this summer.



And beneath is a recently published hour long Olympic special was released by Ball State sports link. The film was aired live on Fox College sports and parts of it were shown on EPSN. Behind the scenes footage and information is available in previous posts on this blog.

I'm now in the process of applying to a masters degree at Ball State which I hope to do in 2013 after my third and final year at the University of Worcester. So if all goes to plan, hopefully I'll be at Indiana this time next year.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, this post is dedicated to the staff members of BSU who made this opportunity possible. Please comment below with any feedback or questions about the trip.

Meeting Fox News Reporter Jason Whitlock 11/08/12

Photo courtesy of www.pitch.com

This morning; after finishing off some work for the BSU website, I was told that we had been invited to a dinner with Jason Whitlock, a very successful journalist who was part of the Ball State University Alumni. 

CT and Alex told me of their experience at the dinner with the other half of the group and filled me in on what Whitlock had done to make him so successful as a journalist. I was particularly intrigued by one particular story about a former BSU basketball coach who had been fired as a direct result of an article published by Whitlock which made national news and ESPN.

It must have taken real guts and self assurance to publish an article of this nature. I was told how many people on Campus, including CT were not really sure how to react to the coach. Stories emerged about how members of the BSU staff were all anxious to say something about it but were afraid of the consequences if they had.

I was impressed that progressing his career as a journalist he had also played American Football at the University. 

I was informed he was he was known for his conversational statements, which I will come on to later.



The meal wasn't until 7pm so Taylor Bussick invited Aaron and I to come along with him and PR student Jordan Dimit to Buckingham Palace. The Olympic walking was taking place that day and we joked about how hilarious a rocky montage of speed walkers training would look. 
There was a larger than I'd expected crowd once we arrived and Taylor's plan was to shoot some photos of the Men's 50km walk whilst Aaron recommended we get some stories from the fans.


Making our way through the crowds, we eventually got to a good spot for Taylor to get some photos. Aaron and I interviewed some of the crowd on how long they'd had to cue to get a glimpse of the Olympians, where they were from and who they were supporting. Our stand out interview was with a huge group of Chinese fans who were all dressed up, singing and waving their huge flag proudly by the barriers. 

We decided to hire out bikes to get back to the Olympic park. It was good fun, but as you can imagine we got lost quite a few times and ended up giving in and going on the train. We'd underestimated (heavily) the distance that we had to travel and didn't want to be late to our meeting with Fox News reporter Jason Whitlock.


 We eventually found the Mexican food place right next to Olympic park. Ryan and Suzzie met us outside along with a couple of others who hadn't managed to get a seat yet and were consequently waiting outside for us. It didn't take long for us to get a table, much to the disgust of those who were waiting in the line in-front of us, Aaron caught sight of an man giving him the finger as we walked past him.

Having pulled up a newly vacated table alongside those already seated with Whitlock, Pat warned me he was extremely opinionated. This, I thought, comes with the territory as a writer. Whitlock had been nominated for several awards and reported mostly on basketball and American football. He was also paying for the whole meal! As you can see by the picture, there were around 25-30 of us so he was casually dropping around £1000. Later that day I found out his salary was over 1.5 million a year!


So why would he bother doing this for a bunch of trainee journalists? Whitlock is a former Ball State University student and is part of their Alumni. As we were introduced he shook my hand, looked me in the eyes and as soon as he heard me say “nice to meet you” in my British accent, he said:  “You’re British? You’re paying for your own meal” in a joking tone. He then proceeded to move around the table and meet each one of the new arrivals.

Another perk of the meal was that Mo Farah, my favourite athlete was competing in the 5000m race whilst we were in the bar. Behind our table there was a large projector screen as well as several regular size televisions around the bar. By the time you’ve read this, I’m sure you’ll all know how fantastic that race was. Mo became the first British man to win the 5000m and the 1000m in the same Olympics. And to do that in your home country must have felt incredible. 

Just metres away from where it was happening, the atmosphere was intense, every single person in that bar was glued to the television screen, every single person was cheering and every single person was happy and proud when Mo Farah came across the finishing line doing his classic Mobot celebration. I was ecstatic, shouting and cheering, the American's got behind the British athlete too. 

And it seems we weren't the only ones:

It was amazing to experience something like that, but I did wish my family were there with me. We always watched Mo’s races at home together, my little brother is a runner and Farrah is one of his role models. I wish I managed to get us tickets to get into that stadium. Anyway, back to Whitlock.

 I finally got a chance to get in on a conversation he was having after the race. I was only sat two seats left from him, but Taylor, who was on my left was speaking mostly to the side of the table on my right – so I had to lean over a bit to hear what was going on. I joined the conversation when he was giving advice to Brandon Pope.

I asked him about Skip Bayliss, a basketball and American football journalist for ESPN. Bayliss often comes under public scrutiny for his stories, reports and opinions. “Stick to what you know” was Whitlock’s advice, he criticised  Bayliss' style, believing him to be a sensationalist.

Whitlock has had a vastly successful career at Foxsports.com, Kansas City Star, AOL Sports, ESPN and radio stations WHB and KCSP. Meeting him was a very valuable experience, especially as sports journalism is a field of work that I am very interested in working in. I liked the way that he was a no Bull**** guy that told you what he thought and if he disagreed with a statement you were saying, he'd make sure you knew about it. 

When I asked him about what he thought about British basketball, he didn't hold back at all on slating us, in effect saying we "sucked". 

He's also been under fire recently for an apparent racist tweet about New York Knicks Chinese star Jeremy Lin (which he has recently apologised for saying "I didn't mean it my wife is Asian")

Despite this he appeared to have a genuine interest in our personal plans and careers, giving us advice, his contact information and finished by asking each of us where we want to be in 5 years time.

Broadcasting from Trafalgar Square and NBA house 10/08/12

A couple of friends from back home told me they were coming down to London today so I'd arranged to meet them in the morning. We'd heard about the NBA house through the website www.hoopsfix.com which stated:

"‘NBA House’ a fan oriented, interactive basketball themed event opens up in the heart of Central London today (August 3) through to August 12.

Open to the public and entirely free, inside, fans and guests will have an opportunity to sample the excitement of the NBA and participate in basketball competitions, purchase official NBA merchandise and meet NBA Legends.

Based in Covent Garden, Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen have been confirmed for appearances, as well as the Boston Celtics’ dance team, and Chicago Bulls’ mascot, Benny the Bull."

Me, John Amaechi, Ben Jenkin and Joe Goodhall

Since then there had also been reports of other NBA stars hanging out at the venue and promoting the game so we wanted to go check it out - these athletes included the likes of Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Dikembe Motombo and John Amaechi.

Before I left however CT and Alex told me they were going down to Trafalgar Square to do some filming for an upcoming project back at Ball State and asked if I could meet them there after so I could feature on their show!

It took me a little while to find the venue of the NBA house but once I got inside I was really impressed. There were competitions going on court with announcers and players of all ages taking part. John Amaechi, one of hand full of British players who had made it to the NBA was there - he is currently in doing the commentary for the Olympic basketball and had taken the time out to come down and help inspire kids to play the game.

The court wasn't open access unfortunately but there were plenty of activities going on as well as photo opportunities. Holding a virtual championship trophy and posing for a dunk seemed particularly popular as well as a shop selling jerseys, balls and other merchandise. They had basketballs scattered around the venue with the imprints of NBA players hands, it was crazy to see the sheer size of some of these athletes. Seven foot two Shaquille O'Neal's hand made mine look like that of a small child.

It wasn't long before I had to leave for Trafalgar Square, but it didn't take long to find the team. They were right at the top of the Square overlooking Nelson's Column and Big Ben. I was welcomed by the group and asked to take a couple of photos and take part in an interview with Aaron which would go out on their show.

As CT had previously explained the BSU sports link team (ballstatesports.com), were working on this project separately to the www.bsuatthegames.com work. They were making a 60 minute feature film on their time at the Olympics and wanted Aaron and I to be in it! 

Despite a few mishaps with members of the public trying to get in the way of the camera, the bells of Big Ben itself drowning out the voices of the presenters and one very annoying drummer filming went smoothly. 

Each member of the group knew their role and were focused on what they had to do despite the many distractions and many, many retakes. I heard some of the guys mouthing their lines and attempting that final bit of revision before they stepped in front of the camera, the desire and dedication to get that professional look and sound to their content really impressed me. CT and Alex directed whilst Pat Boylan and Josh Blessing presented with Michael Nauman filming.

Once the introductions were filmed. Aaron was asked to step up first for an interview,

was set up with a mic and took position next to Pat Boylan. The interview was about what it meant to have the Olympics in our home country and the benefits we had as British student journalists whilst reporting on the Games. 

CT had instructed us both to end the interview by saying "CHEERS MATE" because he and the other American's thought it was hilarious and 'typically British'. As you can see, the interviews were not overly serious or formal, we had fun doing them yet they were carried out in a professional manor.

Alex and CT later informed us that the feature film would be aired on BSU campus and even ESPN! It goes out on youtube on the 5th of October and CT said he would email us the DVD when they'd finished editing.

Aaron is interviewed by senior student and presenter Pat Boylan

With that section of the show completed, we travelled closer to Big Ben to try to find a good place to set up the camera using it as a backdrop. This part of the filming was for the presenting side of a story on an American athlete who's nickname was, ironically: “Big Ben”. 

Taylor Bussick was also directing the behind a behind the scenes film and asked us if we wanted to take part in that too. Over the course of the trip we had seen Taylor floating around with his camera capturing footage on various preparations. He wanted us to give a quick brief on what we had been doing the last couple of weeks - who we had interviewed, what events we had gone too and what we thought of the experience of reporting alongside what was effectively a foreign University in BSU.



Done for the day, our final task was to film a personal thank you message to BSU President, Jo Ann Gora who we owed a huge acknowledgement for giving us the this opportunity. 

Aaron and myself were only told about this collaboration opportunity with BSU two short months ago and now, here we were in central London getting work related experience that we hope will prove invaluable.

Team GB house 08/08/12

Last night I was scrolling through my twitter feed, when I saw a tweet from my old university basketball coach about Olympic tickets. 

Having searched for so long and click the refresh button on the Olympic ticket webpage an unhealthy amount of times, I messages him straight away.

I got a reply pretty quickly giving me a name and a number of a woman to contact. Just like that we were going to the quarter finals of the men's basketball! I couldn't believe my luck.

That morning I told the guys about the tickets I'd managed to get. We only had an hour between collecting the tickets and the start of the game so we had no time to waste. Unlike the previous Olympic basketball game I had been to at the temporary basketball arena, these games were being played at the North Greenwich Arena (the O2).

Despite getting off at the wrong station, we eventually got ourselves to the stadium in one piece. Kate was chasing leads connected the Equestrian events and Aaron tried to get into the media area using his BAJ press pass... He didn't manage it (you can see more about our lack of media accreditation in previous posts!) but did get some stories from fans in the stands.

First game up was Russia v Lithuania, two huge basketball countries who were fighting for a spot in the semi finals. 

Although Aaron had planned to conduct interviews inside the arena, things didn't go to plan as many of the people he spoke to didn't speak good English. 

I was intrigued to see Alexey Sved, who had recently been signed by the Minnesota Timber-wolves.  Lithuanian Linas Klezia has previously studied at the University of Worcester, getting contact with him would have been ideal but, despite emails and tweets I hadn't had any success and getting down to talk to players inside or outside the stadium at a quarter final looked almost impossible.

Neither team had a particularly star studded line up, but the stadium was (for the most part) full and the atmosphere was louder than any game that I have attended previously. Russia proved too much for the Lithuanian's edging a win.



Next up: Spain vs France. I had never seen the Spain team live before and was keen to get some good photographs. Sneaking down to the mid section, I found a few empty seats which looked uninhabited. I stayed there as long as a could, unlike in the basketball arena I didn't get caught so had plenty of time to settle and shoot.

When the basketball ended we stayed behind to soak in the Olympic atmosphere and complete a range of vox pops. We were tight on time as we not only had to go the the Team GB house for an interview but also needed to head to the Olympic Park to collect the tickets for the football match tomorrow night.


Katelynn led us to the Team GB house which was just a stone throw away from the Olympic Park. 


Upon arrival we had to wait in reception before being scanned in and given our press pass which gave us access to the whole house. 

Myself and Kate were allowed access, this was a real relief as it was not guaranteed. Stupidly, after reaching into my pocket, I realised I had forgotten or lost my dictaphone. I was kicking myself as soon as I got in and found myself having to transcribe with a pen.

We were taken upstairs and into a corridor which had  “Our Greatest Team” written across the wall. Signatures of every British athlete competing in the Games were written underneath in gold pen. Walking through the corridor to the next room we were instructed to wait for Sarah, our contact. 



The floor had been designed to mimic an indoor running track, the lanes made their way around the champagne bar, buffet, plasma TV showing the Games and the Olympic torch. Scattered across the room were signed pictures of the athletes who had already won medals for Team GB. The back wall was made of glass and overlooked the Olympic Stadium and Stratford station which was rammed with thousands of Olympic fans squeezing their way into the park.

The room was full of Team GB athletes, they included present, upcoming and former medallists. We had to wait a few minutes for Olympic bronze medalist and double world champion, Sarah Winckless, to arrive. She walked through the door, introduced herself and proceeded to introduce us to the athletes around the room.

Katelynn's agenda was slightly different to ours so we decided to split up.

Firstly we interviewed three young Taekwondo athletes: Ruebyn Richards, George Lee and Jamie Abley. They were all here under the ambition programme.

The three Olympic hopefuls had trialled but not made the cut for the 2012 Olympics and were aiming to star in the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Games. 

They told us that they had been training week in week out with the current Olympians despite not making the games themselves. Normally their daily routine consisted of two training sessions, with Wednesday being the day they were allowed to rest, but only for half the day! They still had to complete a session in the evening on their supposed day off.

Having competed in the martial arts sport for over 10 years they were nominated for the Ambition program through their respective National Governing Bodies. Although originally from South London, Durham and Nottingham the young athletes had lived together for a year.

 They came across very level headed and confident in what the next 4 years had in store for them, It's no real surprise considering Ruebyn beat the world No.1 in Manchester last October and George Lee was ranked world No.1 until recently when he was beaten in the World Championships. They had been watching the Olympic Games avidly commenting:

"Incredible so far and it definitely helps being on home soil as they've managed to get tickets to almost every Taekwondo event." 

After the interview we gave them our contact details and are currently following them on Twitter and Facebook so we can keep in contact with them on their journey to Rio. 

George, Ruebyn, Jamie, Kate, Aaron and Myself

With little time left, we then approached an Olympic Wrestler. Oleksandr Madyarcmyk was a 28 year old man that, although he was originally form the Ukraine, his coach had decided to move him to Britain for training purposes. Oleksandr has lived here for 4 years and therefore qualifies to compete for team GB. He lives in Britain with his wife and has obtained a British passport. 

After winning the British Championships to claim the No.1 spot in his weight category, he became eligible for the Games. He has chosen to wrestle for Team GB rather than his home nation which was intriguing, but sadly before we could ask him more about his reasoning, time was up and the athletes had to leave. Like the Taekwondo athletes, we exchanged details just before he left and will stay in contact with Oleksandr as he continues his Olympic career.

After a short wait and a catch up with Katlynn, Sarah Winckless entered the room and came over greet us. It was then that Aaron, Kate and myself decided our roles for the interview. Aaron chose to be the scribe and Kate and myself would conduct the interview alongside Katelynn.

She started by telling us about the ambition programme that she ran and told us it began at the Beijing 2008 Games. She was the chair of the athletes commission in London and wanted the young athletes to come to London to provide them with Olympic experience to help prepare them for Rio.

The athletes stayed in student accommodation in Loughborough. 

Earlier that day Dame Kelly Holmes had met the athletes on the program and after giving them a speech, had met with the athletes personally. 

Throughout this event the athletes involved had not only been training with the current Olympians but had Olympic torch pass through London and met members of the Royal family.

Sarah added “It's important for athletes to meet their hero. It's a hard journey where every story from past Olympians matter. It's not just about the podium.”

Sarah's focus was to help her athletes understand where they are in their respective careers and wanted to use this as a learning opportunity to prepare them for what is to come at Rio.

Her motto: “Nothing being a sacrifice but everything being a choice”.

The ambition program originated from her experiences as an athlete - she told us she would love to have the things that she now provides to these young prospects when competing herself.

The programme runs for 22 days and consists of 130 athletes and 57 coaches - they work, train and live together as an Olympic family.

After getting information on the programme for a story, we went on to talk about Sarah's personal life as an Olympian. I was surprised to find out she was a discuss thrower at the beginning of her career before taking up rowing. She emphasised how special the Olympics is and how during her career she kept the right mind set, as Olympic careers are short and vulnerable. 

Katherine Grainger, who won a gold in London in the Double sculls is a room mate of Sarah's and a good friend. She explained "we went through the journey to success together, nothing comes close to that feeling as the national anthem plays and your awarded the Olympic medal."

Overall I was really impressed with how much she cared about the athletes on her program. Those chosen are extremely privaleged to have someone like her working to push them on to the best of their potential - especially as she is drawing from her own experiences as an Olympian to provide them with the best possible chance. The Ambition program continues to grow as Team GB athletes continue to win more medals than ever before.

I would go as far as saying Sarah is a unsung hero and want to develop a feature on her work once the Games are over.

Here are Aaron's notes from the interview as we stupidly didn't have a dictaphone as I've mentioned previously.
