London 2012 organisers have said they learned many things from a “memorable” Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
The event faced its fair share of problems but the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), which sent a 50-strong team to Vancouver, identified four areas in which the 2010 Games “excelled”.
The quality of the sport, the service provided by volunteers, the full stadia and atmosphere in and around the sites were all achievements from which LOCOG has vowed to learn.
Chairman Lord Coe said: “The Olympic Games in Vancouver will leave enduring memories where the athletes, organisers and people of the city came together to stage a truly memorable event. Over the last two weeks, the streets of Vancouver have been like theatres where people gathered to celebrate this fantastic spectacle of sport and culture.
“The four S’s we’ve identified – sport, service, stadia and sites – give us real food for thought and an added level of detail to our planning as we become the next taxi off the Olympic Games rank.
”Over the next two-and-a-half years, we will use this information to ensure that we stage a Games for everyone in London.”
