Request for Olympics Rings at Ski Slope

A letter has been sent to the chief of 2012 London Olympics Games, Lord Sebastian by Adam Montogomery to host the Olympic rings at Midlothian Snowsports Centre positioned at Hillend. We can view these rings from Edinburgh, West Lothian, Fife and East Lothian.

Planes had been thrown out to erect these rings on Edinburgh Castle. The letter which Provost Montgomery has mailed to the Olympic organizers includes invitation to fix Games insignia on top of Hillend. This is one of the highest points in Midlothian.

Provost Adam Montogomery said “Snowsports enthusiasts and the thousands of people who see Hillend on a daily basis will also be eagerly awaiting the response this invitation. The Olympic rings at Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend would further raise the profile of this nationally important facility. The history of Olympians training at the centre, including Olympic skiers Finlay Mickel and Alain Baxter, make this site so suitable.”

He further added, “This would be a great way to celebrate the recently announced £500,000 developments at the centre. If the invitation were to receive a positive response we would then look at the logistics of bringing this internationally recognised symbol to the slopes.”

In order to save the future of site, Sportscotland and Scottish government offered £1m funding.

BOA Could Accept Drug Cheats- 2012 London Olympics Latest News

Incase the lifetime ban for the drug cheats is declared as unlawful by British Olympic Association, Dwain Chambers would be the part of Team GB. This is directly challenging the World Anti-Doping Agency policy, as this ban is non-compliant with the code.



While addressing BBC Radio 5 Live, BOA Chairman Lord Moynihan said, “They will, rest assured, be fully embraced into the team.”

Before the end of April, both BOA and Wada is hoping Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will make the decision.

Moynihan also insisted that BOA Bylaw had huge support over the British athletes. If it is changed by the lawyers, individuals affected would receive, “the same treatment as anybody else and we will wish them luck.”

After failing a drugs test in the year 2003, Sprinter Chambers served a ban. In case, if BOA lost then he could participate in 2012 London Olympics Games.
Moynihan said, “We are going to Cas to try to win this case, we believe we need to do so on behalf of clean athletes and reflect the 90-95% of athletes who consistently ask for this selection policy.”

He further added, “We have full autonomy to decide who we are going to select and we believe that is a very strong position in front of Cas. This is not a sanction or double jeopardy, this is a selection policy. The right of team selectors is the basis for a strong appeal.” According to Moynihan, the selection policy of BOA offers a fairer deal for those who are clean athletes.

2012 London Olympics Budget Issue

Hugh Robertson, sports minister has rejected all the claims made by the National Audit Office. According to the reports, expenditure will cross the budget for the upcoming Olympics and stated it as the ‘gloomiest possible picture’.

According to NAO, the real risk is regarding the overall budget of £9.3billion figure, which would not be sufficient for the upcoming Olympic Games and rigorous action is needed.

While addressing BBC sports minister, Robertson said, “I don't accept that £9billion is not going to be enough. I announced the quarterly results at the beginning of the week, and that the construction programme by Christmas will be 95% complete, and we still have half a billion pounds worth of contingency left. Given we started with £2bn worth of contingency you could argue we've worked through three quarters of that, but as I say 95% of the construction programme is now complete, so I think we're in a strong position. I wouldn't for a moment underestimate the difficulty of the task we're facing. Remember that in construction terms we have built [the equivalent of] two terminal fives [at Heathrow Airport].”

He further added, “We've a logistical operation to run the Games unequalled in this country, unless we undertake a major war, and we're staging 46 simultaneous world championships over a month-long period. It is an incredibly difficult project, but we've done remarkably well up to now, and I'm as confident as I can be we will bring this in on time and on budget.”

Later, Robertson has been suggested that he should take NAO seriously, as he replied, “Every single piece of expenditure comes over my desk, so we do take it incredibly seriously, and the NAO is there to highlight risks. But it generally tends to take a glass half-empty, rather than half-full view of all of this. I think reading through their report they have taken the gloomiest possible picture, but they are right to be cautious. However, I think we are marginally now in a better position than we have been at various stages in the past.”

Although the security bill has also been doubled to £533m, still Robertson said, “Security is, relatively speaking, the last piece of the puzzle. You need to have the venues constructed, and then crucially the competition overload put on top of that. The security was always going to be the last thing we did. In a sense there should be absolutely no embarrassment for anybody in government, or anybody organising the Games, saying we are paying whatever is necessary in order to deliver a safer and secure Games.”

Team GB List Includes Bale, Beckham and Ramsey - 2012 London Olympics latest news

On the wanted list for Team GB, Stuart Pearce accepted names of David Beckham, Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale. In the upcoming 2012 London Olympics, Pearce will be the incharge of team and looking for some players to ‘sign up’ to the team.

The Under 21 coach of England revealed feedback from players has been quite positive. He said, “I've got a feeling that the players themselves are desperate to be part of this Team GB situation.

"I have spoken with a few players and the overriding thing that I am hearing back is that this is a fantastic showcase of our national sport in the Olympic games. If I was still playing and had the chance to represent Team GB in a tournament on home soil then I would jump at the chance, to be quite honest with you. It's a fantastic thing to be involved in and I think the players are generally very excited to be involved in this.”

He further said, “There are very few of us who have been involved in a tournament on home soil. I was fortunate enough back in Euro 96 to see the exposure and the explosion of football in this country for that tournament.”

Ramsey and Bale met some serious criticism, as they were the Great Britain 2012 Olympics supporters’ shirt. But, Pearce is still optimistic about their sign up to the team.

Pearce stated, “I've not spoken to them individually, I've heard their words and seen the pictures of them wearing shirts and that's a great indication to me that these players might want to be part of that.” He is worried which player will be committed to the competition.

According to the rules and regulations of Olympics, maximum of three players over the age of 23 can be selected by countries. Interestingly, Beckham has expressed his interest in the participation of Olympics.

Johnson Feels Usain Unable to Accompolish to Gold in 4X400m -2012 London Olympics Latest News

According to the former Olympic Champion, Michael Johnson, Usain Bolt could not win gold in 4X400m relay. He is defending his sprint title in London.

The 25 year old Jamaican will be the defender of 100m, 200m and 4X100m titles in the year 2012. Johnson said that Bolt has the capability to break 400m world record. While addressing BBC Radio 5 live, Johnson said, “You can't train for the 400 [as well], it would be an absolute distraction and the training wouldn't work.”

Bolt futher clear his intentions of running in 4X400m relay along with shorter sprints and 4X100m relay to follow Carl Lewis’s feat of four golds at just one Olympics.

After being announced by the World Governing Body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) as the Athlete of the Year, Bolt praised his Jamaican team-mates. He said that his Jamaican team-mates have shown huge improvement in 4X400m. He further added that he is looking for significant development to his country in winning the Olympic title for the first time after 1952 Helsinki Games.

The three time Olympic Champion said, “If I can help to get them a gold medal, I will want to go on that team.”

During the Atlanta Olympics, Johnson has been the winner of gold in 200m and 400m in the year 1996. Johnson said, “I think he could be the world-record holder at 400 metres but he's said that he has no interest in training for it, which I can understand - it's a difficult race to train for.”

He further added, “I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to repeat as an Olympic gold medallist in the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m, but the 4x400m is going to be tough. Without him the Jamaican team certainly doesn't have enough 400m runners to beat the United States - they could beat the US possibly with him on the team if he was training for the 400m, but he can't just step onto the track and run a 44 or a 43-second split just off 100 and 200m training.”

Johnson continued, “I don't see that happening. I don't see the Jamaican coaching staff putting him on the 4x400m relay unproven. That means he's got to go out there and run some 400s during the season, in order to prove that he should be on that relay. In order to go out and run some 400s, and run them fast enough, that means he's got to train for it, which is something he said he's never going to do.”

2012 London Olympics Latest News

British Olympic Association will give decision whether they should risk almost bruising court battle with the sprinter Dwain Chambers, which needs to stick on lifetime Olympic ban.



On Wednesday, this issue will be discussed with the meeting of the executive board of BOA for first time. Earlier, American Athlete LaShawn Merritt served 21 month drug ban and also overturned rule of International Olympic Committee which would have barred him from London Olympics.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport stated Rule 45 of IOC, where athletes with six months bans are excluded or they will not be able to compete at the upcoming Olympic Games after the drug offence. This is considered as unfair and unenforceable.

According to a research, spare rooms of Olympic Games could be a major revenue generator with £23 million for the London households.




A survey conducted by Big Yellow Self Storage stated that 23,000 homeowners have a minimum of two bedrooms for regular usage. With the aid of Government data, calculation of figures has been done which suggest that rooms could be rented at a cost of £1,000.

Approximately 2000 property owners across the capital have found that half of them have used spare room for the purpose of storage, whereas one third of people have used spare room as bedroom once in three months.

Michael Homes, the TV property show presenter stated, “For those who don't feel comfortable sharing their home with a lodger on an ongoing basis, short lets for special events can prove highly lucrative.”

Ian Thorpe to Struggle in 2012 London Olympics

Ian Thorpe, the five time Olympic gold medallist stated that he is prepared to lose at the upcoming 2012 London Olympics Games.



During the Singapore World Cup meeting, Australian Thorpe marks return to the competition after being away from swimming for five years. He has been looking forward for some exciting challenge in 2012.

He also remarked that time is going against him and not expecting positive return. The 29 year old stated from his training base in Switzerland, “I'm more concerned about [being really successful] because that's what I'm not prepared for. I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that. I'm more prepared to struggle through this whole thing and just enjoy it because I've never experienced that in my career.”

He further added, “I don't think anyone's done this before with the timeframe that I have. Realistically, it's probably too short. For some reason, in my mind, this is helping me. It's making it harder so I'm more focused.”

Instead of targeting medals, Thorpe set some other goals. While addressing BBC, he further said, “My goal at the start - and this will remain my goal through the Olympics - was to be able to swim faster than I used to. If at any stage I didn't think I could do that, I don't know if I'd continue. Medals are good but, for us in swimming, times are better because you have very little control over who wins. The best way to win the nicer-coloured medals is to make sure your process is a lot better than everyone else's. Simple as that.”

He also added, “I also don't think you should just limit yourself to trying to achieve this result, because this is what people perceive as being the ultimate. Push yourself beyond that and take that attitude of not just trying to win by one tenth of a second when you can win by two seconds. Take it that far. That's athletic accomplishment, not just what you get to wear around your neck.”
