London celebrate half way mark

Coe said,”It’s amazing to think it was just three and a half years since President Rogge of the International Olympic Committee took what seemed an age to open the envelope that contained that news but the project is on track.

Since winning the bid, LOCOG has undertaken a huge planning exercise to make sure we stage a fantastic Games for athletes and spectators alike and it has already started delivering results. The IOC’s award of ‘9.75 marks out of 10’ demonstrated that for sport.

It’s been a fantastic journey so far and at this mid-point today I have every confidence that London 2012 is going to be a massive success”
