London Calling
For two weeks in September 2000, Sydney (Australia) was transformed. People in the street seemed happier, friendlier, more alive; a buzz of excitement electrified the air; and one subject, above all, dominated conversations: the Olympic Games had come to town. And even that small percentage of people who didn’t normally give a toss about sport seemed to have been caught up in the spirit of the Games.
I hope those who are lucky enough to be in London during the 2012 Games enjoy the same sense of euphoria as we all did in Sydney back then.
And remember: may the odds be ever in your favor.
