What has happened to the Olympic games?!
Question: What has happened to the Olympic games!?
I always thought the Olympic Games was about the country!.Seems like it's the London 2012 or The London Games!.The rest of England as vanished !?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I am glad that someone else thinks the same way as I do the games have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the UK!. The people that have put the bid together would have the people of this country think that all will benefit but we will not!. The only people that will make money are those close to the running of it, it is a fact that Lord Coe bless his cotton socks has a company linked to the games doing work that will make him a wealthy man jobs for the boys or what it stinks the whole thing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
The 2008 games have just ended and you are already worried about the 2012 games!. Wait till 2012 to ask this because I think things will change!.
When the Olympics come to a country the focus is on the city that holds them!. WHY you ask!. Because the city puts in LOTS of money and time in to getting ready for the Olympics!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

"Athens Games"
"Beijing Games"
I remember that's what they were referred to!. Sure they talked about the Country, which they will no doubt do as it gets closer to 2012, but it seems to always mention the City first and foremost!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Londoners have already been paying for it, it was the Bejing olympics as well not Chinese, Sydney, not Australian, Athens not Greek!. The city bids to get it not the country!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Not to mention the rest of the UK right!? It's always like that!. Remember the Millennium Dome!? They tried to hijack the whole millennium, but failed!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
No; you are incorrect!. The Olympics are always awarded to cities/towns not countries!.
Fortunately, being such nice people, us Londoners are happy to share the occasion with our fellow countrymen!.
Look forward to seeing you in Stratford!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
