We got up bright and early and had a fairly enjoyable breakfast including a version of pain au chocolat and honey covered cereal. After this we navigated our way on the metro to the stadium and wandered around for a while trying to find out how and where we could buy tickets. We managed to bump into a couple from Bolton at the information centre who thought we would be very lucky to get tickets to the evening's competitions as it included the 100m final with Usain Bolt in! However, we perceived and for a grand total of about £15 each managed to get tickets for the whole day, including the 100m final and a few medal ceremonies!!!
After securing our tickets we made our way to an underground shopping centre were we had some lunch and then visited the market at Red Square and GUM.
At about 5.30pm we made our way back to the Luzhniki Stadium and enjoyed almost five hours of top quality athletics where we saw Bolt race to victory and Christine Ohuruogu win her heat for the 400m which she went on to win the next day.
We made our way home after the 100m final when we were funnelled down an army/police lined street towards the metro.
