My heart is already swelling with national pride, 2012, what a year it will be for us!

I'm looking forward to these games and I wish Londoners all the best for 2012

I went to the Olympic Park and Stadium this week and was amazing!

Thank u for sharing that with us...everything is coming together beautifully

The building of Beijing was exciting and the unveiling was nothing the world had ever seen. It seems like only yesterday. This will be another exciting Olympiad. Can't wait to see the presentation :)

At first I did not appreciate it, but London 2012 gives me this feeling that it's an event I HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE. I dunno but seeing the venues, it has that feel of the first Olympiads with a modern touch-- that sort of very idealistic and youthful spirit. Still not yet convinced, but something's telling me that London 2012 is gonna be about reinventing the games and giving it a fresh, youthful feel that would be hard to follow! Like giving this games its very own face

Can't wait for London 2012!

awesome, I would love to go to London to watch it.

One word: Incredible.

That red structure off to the side of the Olympic stadium at 0:44 - is that the cauldron, or is it that "Orbit" sculpture I heard about a few years ago? (Or is it that the "Orbit" sculpture *is* the cauldron, and you're just being sneaky? :D ) It all looks amazing, and I can't wait for London 2012 - I'm hoping to make it to London later this year (after all the craziness has died down), and the Olympic park is definitely on my "must-see" list.

Brilliant so looking forward to being a part of this waiting on tenderhooks for celebration confirmation after 2 auditions : )

I CAN NOT WAIT:-)

wow awesome. I love Johnathon

Thanks for sharing that with us...i had hoped to make the Olympics one of my vaction stops, but dont think that will happen...In the meantime i'm enjoying watching the process thru twitter and ur website and will be cheering on atheletes from afar! Eveything looks like its coming together beautifully

Looks great. Wish I could go.

can't wait!

Pretty cool but why only 360p?

Bah I want better quality guys the videos are great but why 360p

I think the olympics will be great for London and obviously attract alot of tourists but I can't help but wonder whether the pricetag will be greater than the winnings? All that time and money could probably have been put to better use and more long term jobs given the state of affairs atm...

@PaitPait1 Depends on what criteria you use. Bigger doesn't always mean better - sometimes a more intimate show can be lightyears more satisfying than a massive spectacle. Don't get me wrong, Beijing was great, but London has a completely different culture. Besides, the Olympics aren't only about being the best in the world. It's about doing your best and striving to do it better than you did before. I believe London 2012 is going to do just fine. :)

icredible i think this is going to be the best games ever"!

Yes just found out I got boxing tickets, heavyweight and super heavyweight!!

@sportygal1991 correction, it's going to be transported and sold to Brazil. It'll pay for itself.

awesome

Beijing had all the stops, but i'm looking forward to London this year!

Like it failed in Vancouver?

@swiFtey08 we have euro 2012

43 new world records in Beijing 2008. How many will be set in London 2012?

I agree. they need to stop comparing london and Beijing. They have different people, food, music, people, buildings, and way of life. To be honest i thought london was better as it had more of a friendly spirit with the volunters and army.

Very excited especially to have a a place in the Opening Ceremony among the many thousands of participants, we are going to wipe the memory of China, fantastic as it was, into history and put a real British stamp on this.

jezzus i am so freakin nervous. :D I am qualified with my Tae Kwon Do team...

yes and london did it in recession

England at its best... GO ENGLAND !

Look! Tumbleweed!

Not really, london has a nice olympic park. Every country is unique and has different culture. the venues look nice and modern. you must be blind. London has tryed hard. Im sick of people like you comparing it to Beijing, there two different cities completely. Like Rio is so much different to London are you going to compare it to that ?????. My main point is that your comparing to extremely different cities, that have different; Music, culture, food, buildings, people, way of life. stop comp..

@sportygal1991 its going to be recycled , imagine the money to keep it up.

well how wrong were you!!

Is it just me, The Olympic park still looks unfinished.

how is looking for the worst in everything a British characteristic, that was a big generalization.

china did spend more money so it might be better, but.... i think that england can pull it off :)

The only people speaking negatively about the Olympics in London are Brits. Because that's a national characteristic, looking for the worst. But in this case they're taking it too far. London will be better than Beijing because we already have superior facilities in place to what they could build even with their massive budget.

The basketball arena is going to be buldozed after the olympics. What a waste of money.
