The 2012 London Olympics kick off today with the opening ceremonies along with a number of events. The schedule for the games can be found here.
The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on the planet. With 26
sports, 10,500 athletes and millions of spectators, it’s going to be a
busy summer.
The Opening Ceremony is a celebration showcasing the best of the Host
Nation. It also features a parade of all competing nations and the
highly anticipated entrance of the Olympic Flame, which ignites the
Cauldron and signals the start of the Games.
The eyes of the
world will be on London for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012
Olympic Games. The Ceremony will provide an opportunity for the world to
view the artistic expression of the Artistic Director (Danny Boyle) and
his team, and the culture of our Host City and the UK. There are
certain elements that must feature in every Ceremony, as outlined in the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) charter. The artistic performance
of the Ceremony then gets underway and welcomes the world to the London
2012 Games.
