The Olympic Games is a major international event featuring summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions.

The Olympic Games have come to be regarded as the world’s foremost sports competition where more than 200 nations participate. Originally, the ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8 th century BC to the 4 th century AD.

2012 Summer Olympics The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad or "London 2012 Olympic Games", are scheduled to take place in London, England, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.

Development and preparation The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will use a mixture of new venues, existing and historic facilities, and temporary facilities, some of them in well-known locations such as Hyde Park and Horse Guards Parade.

Wembley Stadium is a football stadium located in Wembley Park, in the Borough of Brent. The stadium contains 2, 618 toilets, more than any other venue in the world. The stadium has a circumference of 1 km (0. 62 mi).

Public transport London's public transport was an element of the bid which was scored poorly in the IOC's initial evaluation. They also plan to have 80% of athletes travel less than 20 minutes to their event.

Financing The costs of mounting the Games are separate from those for building the venues and infrastructure, and redeveloping the land for the Olympic Park. While the Games are privately funded, the venues and Park costs are met largely by public money.
