Barca 1992, Madrid possibly 2020
London 2012, Edinburgh or Cardiff or Manchester 2032 or after..
Entirely possible
I gather Rogge has already hinted at us bidding again to LOCOG officials....

I can't believe it's taken an Olympics for the rest of the world to remember we're better than them. Short memories, some people  |

Well that was pretty awesome fortnight or so, maybe the most I have ever enjoyed a sporting event.
I am not really a flag waving nationalist type but the perfomance of the athletes and the way we have hosted these olympics, has made me proud to be British.

Think this is what many are feeling. It's been brilliant. This photo sums it up for me:  "We've won the Olympics!" |

Bit of a nightmare for the Dream Team - only two points ahead 80-78 v Spain in the final with two minutes left in the 3rd...
Make that 80-80.
This was my last ticket I got at the last minute  Spain really looked like they were going to pull it off up until half time, it was still close in the 3rd quarter but it really came across that the momentum had changed and the US didn't really look like losing even when it was that close. I think watching that might be the highlight of the games for me but as a single event the noise of the roar of the athletics stadium when the British team entered the stadium for 4x400 qualifying was pretty mind blowing. |

BBC Olympic montages have been pretty much the Greatest.

It has been brilliant and I am gutted I couldn't get down to London to watch an event.
Also, I don't believe money has got anything to do with it. At the end of this Olympics it will have seen us not make much of a loss with money brought back in. Not forgetting we spend much more money elsewhere, which is spent worse.
Just not sure where we can have the Olympics next time they come round.
