Well, it's November, I can't quite believe how quickly this year has gone; it feels like just yesterday I was jumping up and down eagerly awaiting the start of London 2012.
It may have taken a while after the closing of the Paralympics but I finally feel like I can look ahead to the future of Olympic Sport. Just this weekend we witnessed the excitement of Track Cycling World Cup from Glasgow and still have the third installment of the World Cup in Mexico to look forward to in January.
The sporting calendar of 2013 will include the European Indoor Athletics Championships as well as the World Championships from the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow where Jessica Ennis will hopefully retain her World title from Tatyana Chernova . Other World Championships include the FINA Swimming World Championships.
We can also look forward to an exciting season of high octane Winter Sports, just a year out from Sochi; let's not forget that the Team GB Men's Ice Hockey Squad is only one game away from the Olympics.
I am also looking forward to the revealing of the 2020 Olympic Host where one of Istanbul, Tokyo or Madrid will be selected as the successor of Rio 2016. Another city will be chosen as the host of the third Summer Youth Olympics.
And so: I don't have to rely entirely on Youtube videos to get my fix of Olympic sport, with an exciting year ahead, the sporting summer of 2012 will not be the last.
The views of a young sports fan on the Issues that affect Olympic and Paralympic Sport.
