Olympic Games 2012 has opened July 27, 2012 in Olympic Stadium London, United Kingdom.  This is the fourth annual international sporting event. This event was previously held in Beijing, China 2008. There are at least 36 sports, like archery, athletics, badminton, swimming, rowing, shooting, soccer, basketball, fencing, table tennis etc.. more than 200 countries participating in this event.

Olympic Games first held in Greece in 1896. London had previously hosted in 1948. In 1940 and 1944 Olympics were canceled because of World War II.

Previously, Britain had become the host for the first time in 1908 with logo

other than that on the show as there is usually an Olympic mascot used to liven up the event itself. At this year's Olympic mascots used are Wenlock and Mandeville.


and I also have the video about the mascot ... check this out


opening ceremony that was held very lively, there are several stages, such as the delivery of a torch to light the torch. Moreover, the involvement of David Beckham in the making splashy event in the Olympics this year. I also have favorite scene for the opening ceremony



not only involved david beckham, daniel craig is also involved in the mission this time is to invite the Queen Elizabeth II to go to the Olympic stadium by helicopter.




my opinion about this event : this is an amazing event in the world, the IOC (International Olympic Comittee) really paid their attention to make this event so awesome !

  1. Hi Fifi,

    Nice article, I didn't know that London Olympic Games had some sort of mascots....I guess you learn your entire life, right? :P My favourite part of the opening ceremony was the appearance of Daniel Craig - Agent 007 :)

    I found a couple of small errors like in the sentence "Olympic Games first held in Greece in 1896" We're missing something here, are we not? Of course, we lack the verb 'were'... Remember to always read Your articles twice before posting :)

    Anyhow, these miniscule errors do not disrupt the text at all... I understood everything and I am glad I have read Your article ;) Keep up the good work :)

    Btw. Pretty pictures and videos :)
