The Official Olympic blog

Sometimes it is about big decisions and debates, the sort of things you read about in the headlines. But most of the time it is about the hundreds of smaller actions, decisions and conversations taking place every day. This webpage features the blog for the London 2012 project – opening the door to what the organizers are doing to deliver both a memorable Games and long-term benefits to thei country. It is a blog created by people involved in the organization of the Olympic Games, who will keep you updated on all the latest developments. From time to time, this blog may be also used to link to major announcements on the project.
