Sorry JD you are wrong, its not all about London, Its about The GB team who come from all over Great Britain, and they have to work very hard just to get upto Olympic standard, the hours they have to put in with little or no pay, just to forfill there dream to be part of the GB team in the Olympics.
No one will ever match the Beijing Olympics, that is because China put approx £28 billion into there games.
China are very rich, they have money coming out of there ears, BUT just look at there way of live, most of there people work for a bowl of rice, if they dare to say anything wrong, there gone, maybe killed, they cant have more than 1 child, if they have a 2nd child they have to kill it, or hide it, not a very good way to live.
Give me Britain any day.
The opening and closing Ceremony where the best I have ever seen, only just piping Sidney 2000 games, I thourt they where great. Sidney spent about £6 billion on there games, and they did a great job.
There is one thing us Brits are very good at, we can put on a great show, we are very good at it, and I'm sure 2012 will be one of the greats, just think of all the schools kids all over GB taking part in the opening cememomy in 2012, God the kids and there partents are going to be made up to be apart of it.
We might not have the money to spend like Beijing, but we will do a great job, that I'm sure.
If I've heard right (which isn't always the case) Weymouth will be hosting the sailing, Liverpool will be holding the swimming and the football is in Scotland (Hampden Park I think) So it's hardly London 2012.
Not sure what you are saying, was all the Beijing Olympics held in Beijing, NO, some of it was upto 500 miles away, and we will do the same.
I know the sailing will be at Weymouth, I'm sure the football will be around the grounds in the south, and the finals being at wembley, don't know where the swimming will be.
I will end by saying the GB team did us proud over in Beijing, and its nice to see the lotto funding is paying of.
A big THANK YOU, because I have been glued to the telly watching and cheering you on, WELL DONE.
ROLL ON 2012. I will be there in London watching you.
