Thank you. I got the impression at the time that BBC News weren't expecting London to get the games - a slightly rushed half hour show (which overran as the continuity announcement into the news shows). I bet in France it went on all morning :-)

no one really thought London would win thats why most of the photographers are on the French side when the announcement is made. London pulled it out of the bag due to their superior presentation on the day.

Do we really think that olympic games big are a question of ethics, human project or any olympic bullshit? No it's just about lobbying. This bid was a big turn in french mentality. We had the proof that you don't win Olympic Games thanks to a very good project BUT thanks to an agressive lobbying to sell a project. I remember Paris 2012 committee who just refused to do lobbying to respect a certain olympic spirit, when the mayor of London and all the brits were knocking on doors to change IOC preference. Fair play to London to recall us this lesson. Whatever your project, fucking persuade it's the best even if it's the worst.
