Hi Mohamad,

Thanks for your message, it's great to hear from you. Do keep us posted on how you get on volunteering at Wembley, I'm sure our readers would be keen to see what working at the Olympics is like.

Kind regards,

I worked last week at the arena , whilst the badminton was on, in the protocol department,looking after dignitaries,we were as a team able to meet Seb Coe, Jacque Rogge,sports ministers from China, malaysia,India,Korea,Thailand,various princes, the sultan of Brunei,other dignitaries from the badminton federation, and then on Sunday the Queen of Denmark came to see the Final , unfortunately Denmark lost,
I was in the olympic family stand when Laxmi Mittal and Aditya Mittal came , I talked to both of them, and showed them to their seats, they came to see Saina Nehwal who won the bronze medal for India
My job entailed working in the olympic family lounge , and working in the olympic family stand ,answering questions, helping the dignitaries to their seats, and sometimes escorting them back to the lounge,I was also fortunate to meet some great people who were volunteering, there were accountants, doctors, lawyers, who all gave some of their time, It was an incredible experience, and I will be working just a couple of days whilst the rythmic gymnastics are on later this week
I was fortunate to see the finals in the badminton where Lin Dan won and just prevented Malaysia from getting their first gold medal
I have enjoyed every minute and made some great friends whilst working
