London 2012 Is Just Around The Corner!

After seven years of waiting, London will be the centre of attention of the entire world tomorrow evening. With only one day to go, the UK is full of Olympic fever as the opening ceremony takes place to confirm the opening of the world's biggest sporting event. London will become the first city to host the Games on three different occasions (1908, 1948 and 2012) where the Prime Minister and organizers firmly believe that the capital can host the best Olympics of all time. It's a tough ask after the event that Beijing delivered four years ago however I'm confident London can host a great Olympics. Of course, there has been controversies over the size of the budget, security and probable strikes but despite this, London has a great opportunity to show the world what they can do for themselves and the UK.

London prepares to welcome the world

The football tournament has grabbed the attention of many people already having kicked-off on Wednesday. It was a mixed start for Team GB where the women's secured a 1-0 victory over New Zealand in Cardiff thanks Steph Houghton's terrific free-kick however the men had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Senegal in Manchester. Where the rest of the British athletes are concerned, they have every right to be optimistic coming into the Olympics with many of them hoping to achieve a medal. There will be plenty of coverage of the 36 sports so there is no reason to not watch any of the action unless you're not a sports fan of course! 

THE CENTREPIECE: The Olympic Stadium

I for one cannot wait for the Olympics to start and I hope we can all get behind Team GB to achieve plenty of medals! The opening ceremony will be a great masterpiece directed by Danny Boyle where glimpses of the event have been shown on the news including kids jumping on beds and plenty of dance routines. 

Let's hope for a great Olympics! Good luck London!
