The main reason why London was chosen to host the Games in 2012 was because they had a better reason to host them. Many of the past Olympics have included demolition of the park or just leaving the venues to gather dust. The London Olympic park is going to change every venue. A secondary school will be where the Olympic stadium is. The village is going to change into housing apartments. The Press centre will be replaced by various companies creating many jobs. Many of the venues can be broken down and their components recycled for future use and the ‘Wrap’ of the Stadium will be used as shopping bags. So it’s all ‘Green’ and no ‘White Elephants’ included like the Athens Stadium and the Bird Nest Stadium in Beijing. The IOC was impressed that the London Olympics team will improve the Biodiversity of the Park and create an outstanding Legacy which other Olympic organisers in the future will hopefully follow.
Because the IOC voted for it over other applicants, it would probably have gone to Paris if the French President hadn’t insulted some other IOC voting member representatives, (Finland) they changed their votes after some good work by Coe & Blair and some PA’s by Beckham to further promote the UK bid.
Here’s the IOC list of votes per round, and the things all applicants were judged on. http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/london/e…
cos the oympics is all about diversity and london is the capital of the diversity
Someone probably had a back hander for it. A few people have made a packet out of it and the rest of us will get the expense.
So the English government can go waste another huge chunk of tax payers money on something that’ll be forgotten about shortly after the event
bribery & corruption: BIG BUCKEROOS!
because all the good countries have already hosted them
They won the bid although France should have got it.
Edit: Snouty rofl
idk but it was a bad choice. I want it to be in athens again
