it won't. London is not suited to it, the transport systems will suck, climate is too iffy that many sports will take place on wet tracks & not always see the 'best' of athletes and I'm sure there will be some sort of crime or trouble to go with it too

Now that the games have been hosted in Beijing, we can pretty much throw an "iffy" climate out the window as a reason for not having the games at a certain city.

true, but the olympics are cool in sunny countries where its' nice, where u can jump into the river after winning in rowing, not get hypothermia and in the uk, wind & rain, esp wind, could be a big factor behind us not seeing world records broken etc, due to too much head or tailwind or crosswind. I'd love to be wrong, but I know my country too well

The tube will be an absolute joke.

They mid as well close half the retarded tourist stations like Picadilly Circus and just run a train a minute through all the rest. The tube at 7:00 am on a normal day is too packed to get on without skills on the Central line, I cant imagine what it would be like with thousands and thousands of more people trying to use it.

Then again, isn't the Olympic village in Stratford? I used to stay in Leytonstone which is nearby on the Central line, if anything else Stratford is very picturesque and nice and isn't in the thick of things so to speak.

the games should just have a permanent spot in china from now on

The Beijing Olympics Committee really did go above and beyond everybody's expectations.

Ya, to impress us so we all love China now and forget about how awful they really are.

Jackie Chan was singing at the closing ceremony. This add so much awesomeness to the games that they will be impossible to beat unless the next time when they are hosted in the US at least 50 ninjas come out of nowhere and start attacking people only to find that Chuck Norris is in the crowd and he kills them all. Thats the only way they can possibly beat beat Beijing in awesome. London doesn't have neither Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan so it will fail.

The Tube is ok most of the time but when theres big events going on its hell. I remember going to wembely to see a Division 3 playoff game and it was absolute hell i can only imagine what its gonna be like during the Olympics.

yeah. It bottlenecks up and creates chaos which the london police think needs solving with horses, force & attitude. I've been to an FA Cup Semi final & 2 playoff finals there via train and it's been a hell of a journey to get to, esp with tube stations being shut down. Add in the terror threat we now live with in london and it's going to take a lot of work before it'll be a good system.

when you have an unlimited budget with no concerns about making a profit it makes it that much easier to put on an amazing show.

I still wonder how shithole London will measure up to Beijing. I just dont know.
