Staging the Olympic Games and
Paralympic Games is a unique and inspiring experience. It is
also an honour, one that the UK last enjoyed in 1948. More than
50 years on, we are hoping to host the greatest sporting and
cultural show on earth again. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance
for all of us."While the majority of the Olympic and
Paralympic events in 2012 would take place in London, ours would
be a Games for the whole country.. We would have the chance to
show the country, and ourselves, at our best."
London 2012 Chairman Sebastian Coe and Chief Executive Keith
Mills
