The first Olympic Games

The year is 776BC, and in Athens the first prodigious Games are about to start, the festivities brace begun with a feast and sacrifices for the gods.The surpassing spirit was a key part of their society. It was the one and only(a)- clock time cultures from all of Greece could come together and celebrate, compete and enjoy.In the past few weeks we have been discussing the pros and cons of different issues and today its the tur of exceptionals. around 2000 years later, what has changed, not much? But this Olympic spirit is ingrain within the Games, the international community spirit along with the best athletes advent together and competing in one of the most prestigious sporting contr all oversy in the world. Id like to give you three reasons to explain why and wherefore the games will benefit BritainFirstly because of urban regeneration this has been put at the heart of the London bid, and is a massive benefit to hosting the Olympic Games in that respect is the opportunity to redevelop areas that are dilapidated and have physical disorders. Although umpteen locations in and around London will be used for Olympic Games the core location for most of the events will be the 500-acre Olympic parking lot in the get Lea Valley in East London,Which stretches over 5 boroughs namely Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Camden, Greenwich and Stratford. 3 years ago Lower Lea Valley, was literally a dump site, with muggings at an all time high, knife crimes were going up and up. And you know why?Because no one cared about the place, it was considered to be a dirty, dangerous and dilapidated. And know gentlemen, due to the Olympic Committees regeneration programme, the streets are clean, the alleys are well lightThe most classic venue of the 2012 has been described as an architects dream. Planned and already in mental synthesis the 500 acre park promises an excellent site for sporting activities, with over 9 competition events, and is claimed to be the biggest sports site in Europe for nearly one hundred fifty years.Outside of the new Olympic Park, which will principally host interior sports and track and athletic events, all of England will join in as hosts. However it is not upright London that is going to benefit. Throughout the countries thither will be facilities available. Already the Olympic Committee, has set up resplendent badminton centers in Birmingham, superb swimming pools in Swansea and even mountain biking in ManchesterHowever to gain the most from the Olympics we need to maximize the legacy exit. currently the plan is to sell the Olympic stadium to West Ham football game Club, so that they can keep the sporting spirit alive. The legacy effect is in essence the only thing that will keep countenance us to maintain the investment of hosting the Olympic Games.Britain, has the highest number of sports fans in the world, we have a pride in our sport, when we hear our national anthem at any event our hearts swell with pride. Recently in the wear Commonwealth Games over a thousand British inciteers flew out to India to support Team GB.We are proud to be British, Londoner, but the 2012 Olympics is not just about London. Its about team GB, its about national pride, its about an amazing, historical event taking place on our doorstep, its about getting delirious and involved, and its about making sure that we maximise the legacy and the investment.As passe-partout Coe said The Games will inspire the nation and give us the susceptibility to showcase all that is great about Britain.
