This is the view from the office I occupied for most of the bid. You can see the Dome and the new Barclays Bank building on the left.

Wednesday, August 17th, 2005I worked for London 2012, the London Olympic Bid, from October 2003 to 1st August 2005. I’m now part of the post-win transition team. I re-discovered this quote today, ironically enough from one of the Paris team, and thought it summed it up pretty well!
“Une candidature aux Jeux, c’est deux ans pour construire, un an pour convaincre, six mois pour consolider, deux mois pour gagner. Et une seconde pour tout perdre, ou tout confirmer.”
