Inside the Olympic village - Telegraph

The drumroll of optimism being sounded for next summer’s Olympics gets louder every day. At the official 'one year to go’ party in the aquatics centre, teenage world champion diver Tom Daley took the first leap into the pool, and International Olympic Committee (IOC) chairman Jacques Rogge praised architect Zaha Hadid’s building as a “masterpiece”.

“We must offer the greatest-ever Games in the world’s greatest country,” gushed the Prime Minister, David Cameron. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, went one step further. “The Olympic venues are already so ready,” he said. “We might as well call a snap Olympics tomorrow and catch the rest of the world napping.”
