It's time for the Olympic Games for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

... and so each day I'll be bringing you all the action. Today is the opening ceremony. There is plenty of entertainment. Here is the King's Drum and Bugle Band, led by Drum Major Jermaine Jacobs.

There will be two sports tomorrow. One of them has been mentioned, the other hasn't...

Athletics?

We've had athletics!

Equestrian?

First today is the sport that nobody guessed - fencing! Zoltan and Dmitri salute each other before the match starts.

They salute the referee...

...and the spectators.

"En Garde!"

There is a lot of lunging and parrying.

They are both good movers!

It's a closely fought match, but Zoltan wins.

At the end of the match they salute each other again...

...and shake hands.

The prize for guessing today's other event goes to @JewelleryCat and @LIZS - it's archery!

Here are the contestants - Sir Bartholomew Bowman, Sir Ospringe Bapchild, Sir Archie Archer and Marco Arco. Sir Bartholomew, Sir Ospringe and Sir Archie regard Marco suspiciously, as he seems to have much more state of the art equipment than they do...

They are ready to start.

First up is Sir Bartholomew. He looses his arrow!

It's a raesonable shot.

Next is Sir Archie.

That's a better shot!

Now it's Sir Ospringe's turn.

Hi wife Lady Marden is among the spectators!

That's quite a good shot too!

Now it's Marco's turn.

You are spoiling us

It's a bullseye!

Sir Archie, Sir Bartholomew and Sir Ospringe congratulate Marco. They resolve to invest in some more up to date equipment...
