lONDON 2012 CURTAIN RAISER
The Olympic Games have drawn to a close at a glittering closing ceremony inside Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium. Mayor Boris Johnson has received the Olympic flag to signal the start of London's reign as Olympic host city and spark wild celebrations in the capital.
An eight-minute handover presentation, featuring a red double-decker bus, footballer David Beckham and musicians Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis followed.
An estimated 40,000 people celebrated the handover at a party in London.
Johnson was handed the flag by IOC President, Jacques Rogge, in front of a 91,000 people at the Bird's Nest.
The Mayor waved the flag four times, as directed, before handing it to an usher.
He will bring the flag back to London on Tuesday and fly it outside City Hall alongside the Paralympic flag when those Games have concluded in September.
He will also display the flag at a major celebration in Beijing tonight for athletes, organisers, senior politicians including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, spectators and the media.
Spectacular fireworks kicked off the proceedings, while a beautifully choreographed drumming and dancing display recalled the opening ceremony.
It was a more celebratory affair, as exuberant athletes, dancers and musicians got into the party spirit. The Olympic flag was handed to London mayor Boris Johnson, with organisers briefly showcasing the 2012 Games. The countdown to 2012 has started, and organisers will know they have a great deal to live up to with China staging one of the best organised Games in history and staging some of the most memorable opening and closing ceremonies ever seen."The next Summer Games return to a country which I frequently boast has either invented or codified just about every major world sport. "We will draw on that heritage and we will draw on our wit, flair,imagination and ingenuity to build on what we've all witnessed in Beijing and deliver a fantabulous Olympics in what I consider to be not only my home, but the home of sport. "Sport is coming home. See you in London!" In London, the party in The Mall outside the Queen's residence, Buckingham Palace, is set to go on until 1700 BST with a variety of musical acts.They include McFly, Will Young, Scouting for Girls and The Feeling and a flypast by the Royal Air Force's aerobatics team, the Red Arrows, entertaining the crowd.
It will also feature British Olympians including Dame Mary Peters, Roger Black, Sally Gunnell and Sharron Davies. The International Olympic Committee awarded the Games of the 30th Olympiad to London on 6 July, 2005. London won a two-way fight with Paris by 54 votes to 50 at the IOC meeting in Singapore, after bids from Moscow, New York and Madrid were eliminated. Mayor Johnson has told the BBC he is "absolutely determined" the 2012 Olympics will cost less than the current £9.3bn budget. London will become the first city to stage the Olympics for a third time in 2012. On both previous occasions the capital has staged the Games at short notice - Rome pulled out of hosting the 1908 Olympics following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906.
And in 1948, London staged the Austerity Games following World War タグ:londonbeijingclosingceremonytakes 投稿日: August 24, 2008, 11:46 pm 閲覧数: 46625 投票: 3.60(５点満点) 25 人の平均
