Although our footballers, cricketers and rugby players have often flattered to deceive over the last year or so, this summer's events in Beijing provided British sports fans with a timely tonic.
Our Olympians' and Paralympians' magnificent successes are all the more important ahead of the 2012 London Olympics.
Not even the most optimistic sports fan could have expected our athletes to have come away with as many medals as they did from Beijing.
Having concentrated over the last few years on cycling, rowing and swimming, let's hope that our athletics organizations, schools and sports clubs can continue to maximise the often huge potential of our young athletes.
Who knows? Maybe the new Johnathon Edwards, Linford Christie or Dame Kelly Holmes is waiting to burst onto the scene...
