London 0lympics 2012

So after seven years of build up the Olympics games came and went. And guess what, it was a success. Did people get to work or was everyone squashed onto the tubes from first train to last train? And
was there gridlock traffic throughout the city? No. I’m sure that people wanted it to be just so that they could say “See, told you so. Bloody Olympics.”
The whole city coming to a standstill was just a growling fever called Olympic Paranoia.
Sure the anti-Olympic lobby had some good points. One was the corporate feel to it. Yes fine but so does every major sporting event.
The brands might well be everywhere around the venues but you didn’t see them on the tv. Not like in other sports. Especially something like Formula 1 which is basically a walking advert.
Before it all began I heard a few people say its basically just a glorified sports day. Those people must never have seen Usain Bolt run.
