Just heard on the radio that London has won it’s bid to host the 2012 Olympics!

From the BBC News website…

London won a two-way battle against Paris at the IOC vote in Singapore, after bids from Moscow, New York and Madrid were eliminated.

It will be the first time the Olympics has been held in Britain since 1948.

Wow, this is amazing news, my daughter will be 8 in 2012 and we’ll be able to take her to see a once in a lifetime event.
