not any more than can be expected for a capital city.

Blah I don't want the olympics in london, everyone coming from abroad will crowd london and think about all the people living there. Also the olympics is about 2 weeks long + & boring and it covers all the good programmes on tv

Not all the events can take place in the capital anyway. For instance, London won't be the location of the watersports events - they're more likely to be at Holme Pierrepont in Nottinghamshire, many miles north of London up the M1.

I think it's fair for england to have the Olympics

lol....

well, I think I'm glad it's nowhere close to here! I hate having lots of people from loads of countries invading the place Like the Grand Prix. I was at the amusement park right beside it and we left EXACTLY when it ended the subway was jammed with so many germans and such! (I don't really hate them.. I just don't like the feeling being with other people that talk dodgy languages and surround you everywhere )

BUT ANYWAY! Whoever from England that is glad, then good for you! Just hope they don't make another Olympic Stadium like ours!(in Montreal) (nah they won't blah!) our roof is leaking in winter because I believe it's some french dude who designed it but he was used to the temperatures back in France and he didn't think about the acumulation of snow we get during winter.. so there's water pooring inside the stadium

Well at least all the tourists going to London will be spending lots of money buying things from you.

Of course you will charge them reasonable prices .

i wanted paris to win the 2012, cuz i don't think london will handle it and paris is a nicer city

Sydney was so good they even copied the layout of the stadiums to be the same...no games will ever be as good as sydney, but hopefully london will do well.

Dont Get too over confident there... there has been lots of olympics in lots of cities and there will be many more olympics so i dont think Sydney Was the best and if it was I doubt it will stay that way

and ever city that had the olympics people will say theres was best so...

Yeah i did love the way the S and the 2 made a heart
Good to see that london won Too bad there were bombings
But its good that the IOC stands by its descission to have the 2012 olympics there cause while london was a candidate its security was obviously thoroughly checked

any chance of the olympics being in india? maybe in the next hundred years or so??
