Though I'd start a thread as this is an event that all of us will only experience once in a lifetime......to me the best part will be the legacies with the superb infrastructure left behind....

Mexico : olympic gold,... bravo...!.....my big dark horses for 2014....

Well done team UK.....fantastic overall performance....29 golds......superb result and third behind the USA and CHINA.......and we are a smallish country !...

Fantastic from start to finish like a good many others I will miss the greatest show on earth, well done to everyone involved.

Superb Olympics,... what more can be said ?.....

Awesome? :o)

Yes , it proved a lot of people wrong including me , I think the cost will be worth it. How much would it have cost to promote tourism to the UK on such a scale and sport and we have the OLYMPIC sporting venues also now.
