2012 Olympics will be held in London

After a very exciting and nail biting morning, where the IOC Committee were in Singapore to vote on the venue for the 2012 Olymbic Games, it eventually came down to a choice between Paris and London - Guess what - London won the selection by 54 votes to 50 and Stratford, in East London will undergo an amazing transformation as work starts tomorrow ~(Says Ken Livingstone) on creating a fantastic new Olympic stadium, with sports facilities such as could never have been considered. In addition houses will be built and private business will build hotels and blocks of flats to house the athletes. Wembley will house many of the track and field events and Weymouth will be the venue for all the sailing events. What a fantastic seven years!!
