This years Invictus Games being held in Orlando started yesterday with an amazing opening ceremony, the games are for ex-service men or women who where injured. It is the brain child of Prince Harry who himself was a service man and served in the Iraq war. He went to see the Warrior Games in 2013 and saw how the power of sport could help physically, Psychologically and socially and the Invictus Games was born and the inaugural games was held in the UK in 2014.

Now here we are in 2016 and the games are back! Yesterday the cycling kicked off the games with the UK winning 7 golds! So great start UK! You can see the Invictus Games on BBC1 lookout for it!! B)

Well the Invictus Games are nearly over for this year, but that doesn't mean the medals have been coming in thick and fast! The UK Rugby team got Bronze after an intense match, amazing to watch!! The Denmark team got Silver and the USA wheeled away with Gold, well done USA!

The UK won Gold in the Tennis after beating New Zealand. And as for the swimming the UK picked up 18 Golds, 16 Silvers and 9 Bronze! I bet that will cause some excess luggage weight on the way home!! :ohmy:

This years games where a great success and so humbling to watch, I think quite a few of the winners will end up going onto the Para-Olympic team which will mean we will have a strong team! :)
