THE OLYMPIC GAMES ARE COMING...


"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."
Olympic Creed 



This year London has the great privilege of being host to the Summer Olympic games for the third time in its history in 2012 - the previous occasions being 1908 and 1948. London will be the only city ever to host three Olympic Games! A new 200 acre "Olympic Park" has been built in Stratford, East London, and many existing London facilities, such as Wembley Stadium, will also be used.
The London Olympic Games will begin on 27th July and run through until 12 August. 4,700 medals are ready and waiting to be won!
