Well, here at saint pancras station, perhaps the first chance for members of the Great Britain Olympic Team to get a sense of the impact that theyve made on audiences and the General Public here in britain. Of course, the paris games, as close as were going to get to a home olympics, just a trainjourney away. And thatjourney for some of the medallists, a chance perhaps, to really begin in earnest a sense of reflection. My coach said it quite nicely, theyve got a whole lifetime for it to sink in.
