Thank you for a great OGI weekend. I had a fantastic time. My Mum and Dad said I would enjoy it and they were right … I loved it. The experience has made me more confident in my athletics and I'm proud of the medals I won. I'm also proud that we came second and that we won the Les Rickard Trophy. We were all, as a team, amazing!!!!! Thank you to everyone for the training and the support you gave me, even when I was at times emotional! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to join A.S Londra Sud, I can't wait for OGI 2016. Anna, Aged 12, 2012

I felt very excited when I first heard that I was going to the Italian Olympics for young children. I didn't even know that it existed! As soon as I started practicing for the big three days, I knew that this was one of the best sporting events that I have EVER been to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giulius, Aged 10, 2014

I really enjoyed it . I did not know what to expect and was really scared but you made me come out of my little shell and got me out of my comfort zone to do sports. I am really looking forward to doing it in 2016 and hopefully I have persuaded my brother to do it then too. Charlotte, Aged 10, 2014

We just simply wanted to say a HUGE thank you not only for the last 3 days but also for your brilliant hard work, efficiency, organisational skills and kindness since the very first day of training. Lorenzo arrived to the first training session shaking with fear and he has left the OGI experience so much happier and self-assured as well as disappointed at the long wait until the next OGI! This means so much to us. You treated us all with the highest of care and attention and made us parents feel 100% at ease knowing that our kids were in the best of hands and in a great team.

Everyone in the OGI was friendly because when I arrived at the OGI I was greeted by everyone. In no time, I was confident and loved the new friends I made. Now I know how to run faster because the leaders taught me. Winning 4 gold medals means a lot to me. I am really looking forward to doing it again in 2 years' time. I already miss my friends and the leaders! Thank you very much! Lara, Aged 10, 2014

Best weekend ever. Made lots of memories. I still keep thinking back and laughing. Keeping in touch with teammates. Still having laughs. Can't wait til the next lunch and the competition in 2016.

A fantastic weekend that I will never forget. The best parts about the OGI was the people in it. The children, the adults and the supporters. I had so much fun and the memories will last a lifetime. The training sessions were very enjoyable with the help of Sarah, Roy and Sid, and we wouldn't of achieved what we did if it wasn't for them. The final result was amazing and I made so many very good friends along the way. It will be sad not to see them for a long time but I am sure we will keep in contact. Again thank you so much for a wonderful weekend it meant a lot.
