London 2012 - Legacy Stories

Almost nine years on, London 2012 is continuing to touch lives and benefit communities living around the Olympic Park. It’s a legacy that goes far beyond the physical changes set in motion by the Games, delivering on a vision embedded in community impact from the start. In this video, which was shot before the coronavirus pandemic, we take a look at long-term Games benefits in areas spanning health, social inclusion, education, jobs, housing and community engagement.

IOC failed to keep its political neutrality and damaged South Korea. Dokdo is a unique Korean territory. IOC and Japan are obliged to apologize to South Korea. Olympic spirit collapsed.

Why not London host the Winter Olympics in the future?

[@aaronthebest5519]

is that a joke lol

[@JoshWaller]

London is no where near cold enough to host the Winter Olympics. In the winter, the coldest it gets is -1/-5 (usually -2). In the summer weather can get to 38°c. Basically, London will never host winter games. Scotland could, but I doubt it, as it’s not really cold enough there either unless you’re in the highlands, most of which is just hills & mountains

​​​@@JoshWallerexactly, Inverness would need more ice arenas too, and a bigger airport.
