The final countdown as well and truly began. We’re into the last 100 days till the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony the Isles of Wonder kicks off. Excited yet?
Today to help mark the start of the final 100 day countdown, the motto for the London 2012 Olympics has been revealed…. ready for it?
It’s : “Inspire a generation”
Couple this with the cool opening ceremony name, and you can see a common and consistent theme here. The goal is to involve the whole of the country and leave a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire the coming generations.
The motto is also cleverly designed to remind and focus competing atheletes to understand their performances will be remembered long after the end of the events and go on to inspire the next generation to train, practice and compete with the best and finally win!
So here’s a question for you. Imagine triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt is true to his word and manages to run the 100metres in 9.4 seconds or the 200m in 19seconds? Would that Inspire you?

The London 2012 Olympic games will have some notable differences from the 2008 Olympic Games. Most notable is the exclusion of both baseball and softball as Olympic Events.

The selection process to indentify and pick a torch bearer was judged on the basis of the individuals inspirational level, and his/her services to society and/or local community. The torch relay system is one of the most decent and dignified custom in Olympics. It has always been kept among the most sensitive matters during the preparation of the global sports celebration. A chain of selected athletes run to symbolise the motto of the team spirit and brotherhood in this greatest sports occasion. The olympic torch is lit in Greece, and then travels across the chosen cities, towns and villages of UK. It’s final destination, the Olympic Stadium in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London is reached on the 18th May, 2012.
The 30th Olympic games will commence with the Isles of Wonder – the usual Olympic traditions as an artistic show of the culture of the host city-London. It will then be followed by a speech from the Head of State. Honour will be given to the president of IOC and chairman of the organising committee, and her majesty, the Queen.
The traditional ceremony parade of athletes’ nation by nation will be followed by speeches from delegates, the playing of the Olympic anthem and rising of flags of nations. After this, players will take the spirited oaths, then the cauldron will be ignited by the london Olympics torch.
