Toby Schuster

Freelance writer, PR consultant and previous Olympic hopeful. Inspired by the 1984 Olympics in LA my original plan was to compete in 1992 Games in Barcelona. But a misspent youth and a positively non-Olympic 11.6 seconds in the 100 metres ended that dream for good, not to mention the inability to clear more than 1,20 metres in the high jump.

Many moons later the universe seems to have finally answered my prayers and somehow I've ended up performing at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony, an Olympic dream of sorts I guess but only Show Day on the 27th July will tell.
