On Monday a number of the Team GB athletes and I started our journey to Paris 2024. Well, the journey towards an Olympic Games started many years ago, but this time we boarded the Eurostar from London St Pancras on towards the channel tunnel.
The day started off with a great welcome from Team GB and lots of attention from the media. There were loads of french themed foods onboard including the croissants and Pain au chocolat, but we won’t be seeing them until post tournament as it’s time to focus on the weight management. C’est la vie
Before we left London we were invited onto Heart FM to be interviewed by Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden. My Team GB boxing team mate, Charley Davison and I had a great chat with the radio hosts.
As well as the GB Boxing team mates on board there were lots of other Team GB athletes from a number of sports. Some of them were at their second Olympics and for many of them, like me, it’s their first.
We have now settled at our final training centre in France before we make our way to the athletes village, which will be next week.
Thank you all for the support so far.
Merci beaucoup
Lewis
