So tonight I was tweeting during the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, and discovered that the GB Special Olympics team had started following me on twitter. I hadn’t realise they were on twitter, and not sure how they found me, but I’m happy they did.
28th Jan 2013 is the start of the Winter Special Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.
A family from my old church in Aberdeen have a special connection, as their son (who unbelievably is now 17 or 18 – he was just a wee kid when I used to go round to their house for student lunch!) is one of the skiers in Team GB who’ll be competing.
You can follow the Team’s blog here: http://2013wintergamesgbteam.wordpress.com/ and Special Olympics GB on twitter (@SOGreatBritain).
After such an exciting year in sport, my hope is to continue giving shout outs to sports that don’t get the same attention as Football, rugby, cricket, golf and tennis…
And did I mention that my tickets are booked and have even already arrived for next year’s FIG World Cup in Glasgow? Yep. Ruairidh and Saija are back on guard duty…

Looking forward to 2013. With hopes that things pick up and shine a little more around here!
