This effects me personally as they are building an olympic mountain biking track (in Hog Hill Essex) which is 2 miles from my house and Stratford being 4 miles from my house
I think it will be great that I will have use of all the great facilities once the olympics are over. the only problem is that I will be nearly 40 by then lol
If we start to encourage sport in schools so that we chance more chance of medals it is only a good thing. It would be great to see kids more interested in sport.
I also live in Sydney and the Aussies are still very proud of hosting the olympics and enjoy the facilities 7 years on.
I say bring it on and its about time we spent that lottery money on something alot of us will benefit from instead of the rich upper classes
