Watch Olympics 2012 online. Following a bid headed by former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe and the then Mayor of London Ken Livingstone,London was selected as the host city on 6 July 2005 during the 117th IOC Session inSingapore, defeatingMoscow,New York City,Madrid andParis.
London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.
While budgetary considerations for the games have generated some criticism, they have also been welcomed by others as having prompted a redevelopment of many of the areas ofLondonin which events are to be held – particularly themed towards sustainability.
The main focus of the games will be a new 200 hectare Olympic Park, constructed on a former industrial site atStratfordin the east ofLondon. The Games also make use of many venues which were already in place before the bid.
‘TheUKhas some of the finest sound engineers in the world. British television regularly stages live music events at Wembley Stadium andGlastonburyin all weather conditions.’
The programme for the opening ceremony is a closely guarded secret, but The Mail on Sunday has discovered Sir Edward Elgar’s stirring work Nimrod, from the Enigma Variations, which is always played at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday, is likely to be included.
Classical cellist Julian Lloyd Webber said: ‘As president of The Elgar Society, I am delighted by the thought of this beautiful piece being brought before an even bigger audience. But if there were to be one conductor at the recording and another on the day, that would be ludicrous.’
Music experts are puzzled by Locog’s failure to let the LSO perform live since the orchestra has extensive experience of playing in large public spaces.
Three weeks ago, it performed The Rite Of Spring, a fiendishly complicated work by Igor Stravinsky, inTrafalgar Square.
Facebook, which announced the portal at its centralLondonoffices, said it hoped the portal would mean Olympics fans could interact with athletes in a way that had not been possible in previous Games.
Alex Balfour, from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) said there was now a “perfect storm” of technology to allow a “really rich experience” wherever fans were in the world.
“We want make sure our Games is available to that new audience of digital consumers,” he added.
Facebook said it would allow fans to use the network to discover footage of their favourite athletes – but some content would be geo-targeted, meaning certain footage might not be available in certain regions of the world.
Mr Adams admitted that the IOC had been slow to adopt social networking, but was now ready to embrace it for London 2012.
“The way I like to think about the IOC and our relationship with social media is that the Olympics is one of the oldest social networks that has ever been.
“Everyone has an experience and shares that experience with their friends and their family – everyone has an emotional attachment to the Games. We’re just digitising that experience.”
“My expectations are high,” Gasol said in an interview with FIBA.com “It will be a tough competition for everyone but I’m looking forward to being inLondon. My teammates and I will fight for the gold medal. I think that we can win the tournament. We have a lot of talent and everyone will be very motivated to give it their all on the court. We’re afraid of no one.”
ShouldSpainand theU.S.meet in the gold medal game, injuries will be an issue for both sides. Point guard Ricky Rubio tore his ACL but was also confident aboutSpain’s chances when talking with Kobe Bryant prior to suffering the injury.U.S.stars Dwight Howard (back surgery) and Derrick Rose (torn ACL) are out for the Olympics as well.
