Team GB celebrate 100 Days To Go

Today sees the UK celebrate that it is only 100 days until the Olympic Games in London start.

It really doesn’t feel that long ago that the announcement was made by the IOC and we saw Beckham et al jumping around in celebration (as well as a few thousand people in Trafalgar Square!).

There are a few different strings to this celebration to tell you about that cover YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Firstly, Team GB have launched a video asking people on the street how they felt we when we won the Olympic bid, what their favourite British moment was and much more.  Watch it below to find out what they had to say….

 

Tonight also sees the 1984 Olympic Decathalon champion Daley Thompson take over the @TeamGB Twitter account for a Q&A session.  This is the latest instalment in the #AskTeamGB series where a famous GB athlete gets onto Twitter to take fans questions.  IT stats at 6pm tonight so get asking your questions now!

 

The next part of the social activation by the guys at Team GB is the launch of their mascot ‘Pride the Lion’ on Facebook and Twitter.  You can follow his latest exploits on www.facebook.com/PrideTheLion and @teamgb_pride

 

Finally, the team are asking people to “Join #OurGreatestTeam” by pinning their message of support on our map: www.ourgreatestteam.com

So, only 100 days to go and a huge amount going on!  Can’t wait to see what will be happening next….
