the Olympics and telling you about an incredible completion to win five tickets to the men's 100 metre final. here’s Steven

presenter: welcome back, there are some great events going on today like swimming heats in the aquatic centre and time trials in the velodrome. Before the news I mentioned a competition we are holding, we have
been given 5 tickets to give away for the men’s 100 metre final and all you
have to do is answer this question: how many events are in the Heptathlon? Is
it a) six, b) five, or c) seven? Just text in with your answer to 2012123 by
midnight tonight and we will pick a winner.
Before the news I said that I would be speaking to Michael Sampson the man who bought the Olympics to London. without him we
Michael: hi, it’s great to be
here. On of the things I really wanted for the Olympics was for it to have its
won radio station so this is just fantastic.
Presenter: thank you. What made
you want to be apart of the bid?
Michael: well before this
Olympics the last time the games were held in London was in 1948 and before
that 1908 and I just knew that London has so much more to offer not just as a city but also as a
culture since the last time we hosted the Olympics 64 years ago. FADE OUT HERE
Presenter: we won the chance to
host the games in London back in 2006 so seeing it happen right now in 2012,
how does it feel?
Michael: Right now? Amazing,
magical and little bit relieving because
over the past six years I can tell you that there were times when I never
thought we would get here but we did , we really did.
Presenter: now I know we are only
on day six of the games but what has been your favorite part so far?
Michael: well the opening ceremony
really was something special. I knew what was going to happen, I had seen the
dress rehearsals and even I was mesmarised so I can only imagine how the people
at home and all over the world thought of it.
Presenter: great. Thanks Michael.
Its been great having you on the show we really want to come back again soon.
Michael: thank you, I would love to.
