In 2012, London will be staging one of the world’s most famous sporting events and we want you to be a part of it.

LOCOG is responsible for staging a memorable Games in 2012. Its aim is to deliver the best possible Olympic and Paralympic Games experience for everyone involved, ensuring a real legacy and inspiring people to join in.
