Many, many, many of you have written to find out whether Michael the archer from AMT186 made it into Team GB to do archery at the London 2012 Olympics.
It is with great disappointment I am writing to you to tell you that I have failed to make the GB archery team for this summer’s Olympic Games.
It was a close battle but even with the entertainment you gave me, I was only able to get 4th, just outside of the team of three. So I will be spending the summer as Olympic reserve and hoping none of my teammates “fall down any stairs”.
So answer me this: have I wasted my money, career, time and life in this endeavour? If I have, it does not feel like it to me 🙂
It is good you feel that way, and that you can still smile about it! To us – people who will never ever be anywhere close to qualifying for any reserve Olympic team (at least not until ‘eating the largest number of dim sum in one sitting’ or ‘scooting a swivel chair across an uncarpeted floor’ become official events) – your achievement is already very impressive.

Well done Michael! Pretty bloody impressive.
