LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES
 

 

 

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."


The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the biggest sporting event in the world. In just a few years’ time, London will be holding the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
