I am here in London to witness some
few games in the London 2012 Olympics.In my opinion today was one of the best
and spectacular opening ceremony ever done by any hosting nation.
They have done it in
Olympic spirit to inspire generations, young people have been given important
roles e.g. lighting the cauldron this task normally is given to big stars, they
have showcased the British culture, history and Science covering all major
issues that were invented by British and have transformed the world e.g. www- world wideweb discovery by Tim, Industrial
revolution, Music, Literature just to mention a few.
The Olympic Park at Stratford city, East London 7 years ago was one of the
poorest area in UK , now this
is most advanced area of UK
with the biggest shopping centres in Europe ,
beautiful gardens, modern housing and most modern sports facilities that will
benefit future generations.
This is the only Olympic
with all participating nations featuring men and women , so it is a fully
gender balanced event.
Sports can do what no
any politician can do i.e. Sports is the only Language that unite every one
regardless of their background.
There are more member
states of IOC than member states of UN, this exemplify the power of sports.
204 nations are
participating in this London Olympic, more than 90 heads of states and
governments, many big stars, business leaders and who is who in every sector is
here in London.
I think this is a very
big business worth to invest in, this is how one can use sports for the benefit
of the country and the people, we must invest in Sports.
Preparations for Rio
2016 Olympic should start now.
We have a lesson to
learn. All the best our athletes..!!!
