The city of London will be host for the 2012 Olympic Games [news.bbc.co.uk]. Winning by 54 votes to 50 in the final round of voting, and leading the way in most of the voting rounds, London shrugged off the Paris bid, which was tipped as the favourite.
This is pretty good in my opinion. I doubt that people get more than a few chances to go to an Olympic Games that is in their country, so I will be trying to pick up tickets for some events and stuff so that we can be travelling to London in 7 years time, when hopefully all the stuff will be buillt 
Nice one.
