The Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games are the most spectacular and exciting sporting festivals on earth.
Around 15,000 of the world’s best athletes
compete for glory, watched by a global audience of billions of people. Along with the athletes, thousands of officials, media and sports fans from across the globe would visit this country.
Sport, culture, education and youth would
come together in a summer of celebration
and competition.
The greatest festival that London
will ever host
The UK has hosted some of the biggest and
most successful events in recent years, such as the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the Jubilee celebrations and Euro 96. London would welcome the Olympic nations in the same style and spirit as Manchester did for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and Birmingham did for the IAAF World Indoor Athletics Championships in 2003.
London’s Games will be a Games for everyone
If we host the games thousands of jobs will be created, our businesses will profit and our tourism industry will boom.
Our young people will be inspired by Olympians and Paralympians alike, providing role models for a whole generation.
We will all have a unique opportunity to share in and enjoy the benefits that the Olympic Movement brings.
Come and join us.
