Visa and IOC - Losing at Cards?
by
Simon Rines
In other words the Olympics is all about being inclusive, friendly, non exploitative and not over-commercialised. How does that image fit with the insistence that the only way to buy a ticket to the 2012 London Games with a credit or debit card from the organiser will be to use Visa?

by
Sean Ring

by
James W Smith
The 2008 Summer Olympic Games and events in Beijing are still several months away. However, sad and disturbing world headlines concerning China and these Olympic Games are everywhere.

Are Olympic Game Parks, Stadiums, and Facilities Sustainable?
by
Lance Winslow
The other day I was speaking to an acquaintance on the fact that so many old Olympic Stadiums are sitting idle, rundown, and an economic waste. The history, glory, and pride of those hosting cities rotting away for no reason, and so my international acquaintance from London, England, which happens to be the site of the 2012 Olympic Games tells me that it doesn't make sense to build facilities of that magnitude and allow them to slowly turn to rubble, as he states" "This argument goes beyond London and is about the future of the games."...

by
Lance Winslow
Not long ago, I was talking with an acquaintance in London about the 2012 Olympic Games, and we both agreed how important the Olympic Games are from a humanitarian standpoint, as it helps bridge the political, cultural, religious, and theoretical divides. The long-term benefits from both the hosting countries, and the visitors are immense. Surely, these games have had a positive impact on the world, and our combined histories.

The Modern Olympic Games
by
Brian J Thomas
The modern Olympic Games, as can be seen with the London Olympics held this year, have become one of the largest special sporting events on the international calendar. But what do we know about these games from a historical point of view? With more than 200 countries now competing in the Olympics (both summer and winter games) are held biennially, with the Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating every two years, but each event (either the summer or winter Olympics) occurs only every four years.

Opening of the Beijing Olympics - A Thirst For Peace First
by
Bickley Gillian
The most magical moment of the spectacular and intensively choreographed opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was the spontaneous reaction of Chinese spectators to the dove of peace dance. Delightedly copying the dancers' fluttering movements, they can have left no viewer in doubt that -- for the Chinese people, as represented by those caught on screen then -- peace, harmony and the joy of peace and harmony and fellowship with others are what they intensely desire.
