London is facing third night of violence, where shops have been looted and vehicles set alight.
The IOC spokesperson also stated that security is surely the top priority of this glorious event. He said, “That is something for the authorities in London in whom we have complete confidence.”
While addressing BBC Sport, Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson said, “What has happened over the last couple of nights is unforgivable. It is straight forward low level criminality - people trying to steal goods from shops.”
Darryl Seibel, Director of communications of British Olympic Association also said that he is quite confident about the safety of Olympic Games.
While addressing Sky Sports News, he said, “It makes an Olympic Games and a Paralympic Games all the more important. The beach volleyball took place at the Horse Guards Parade There have been amendments to the beach volleyball test event. We need a reason to come together. What better city to do it in than London. It is the only city to be honoured with the Olympic Games on three occasions.”
He further added that until now there is no news of damaging of any of the Olympic Games. Seibel said, “This is not a reflection of London, this is a reflection of the world we live in today.” One of the spokesperson of London Olympics also said that security measures have been consistently updated for the London Olympics Games.
She said, “A lot of detailed work has taken place regarding security plans for the Games and we will continue to review them together with the Met Police and the Home Office over the coming year.”
