can London 2012 could match the grandeur of Beijing?

I don't think they can, and honestly don't even think they're even going to try. The Chinese did an phenomonal job and more importantly, they had something to prove to the world. They had to prove to the world that they COULD compete on an international stage, and they COULD pull off an event of this size and scale. London has nothing to prove, so why would they even try to match China?

But I hope they do match China.. it would be nice to see such a spectacle again... :)

London has alot more to offer than Beijing, we will show what true freedom is, something Beijing failed to do with its millions of robotic people who behaved as if they had a gun pointed to their head, afraid to step out of line. that is the clear difference.

yes or no

the technology is developing ,you never what is gonna happen four years later,maybe some day high jump competition is held on moon and definitely new world record is going to be create

match it, surpass it and then some....when a country rolls out the likes of jimmy page for a closing ceremony you know you're gonna be in for a treat. bring on the london games!

I don't think so, but the British should have one that is special to their own, not copying anyone else.

maybe,depends on the judges and how many under age athlets they have

Not a chance !
