It’s easy to be cynical about the Olympics, especially
when I cannot get the boxing tickets I applied for……but that’s a different story. The London Olympics is expected to deliver venues
for 300 events in which 205 countries would participate. It needed to provide the largest logistical solution this country has
ever faced in peace time while also delivering a lasting legacy for London. I have to admit that
the construction of all the sites seems to be on time and despite the absence
of my boxing tickets everything has gone well, so far. But where is the legacy?
As impressive as this temporary equestrian stadium is in Greenwich Park it’s
only legacy will be the damage to the turf once the show has left town.
I must admit that the creation of this temporary Olympic site is spectacular
and it will look great on TV but it seems like a missed opportunity.
