0 Comments on this postI was delighted to visit two of the Host Boroughs this week – Hackney and Waltham Forest – and received a great welcome.
Mossbourne Community Academy in Hackney is just one of the local schools in the London 2012 Get Set network and it is no surprise when you see the time and effort that the students have invested in their work. It is incredible and a real asset to Hackney and to London.
In particular, they have done great work on the 'Get Set to make your mascot' competition, a challenge we set to young people across the UK...

It's not every day you get the opportunity to go to a Caribbean island with an Olympic athlete, one that still holds a world record seven years after retiring no less. But that's exactly what I was lucky enough to do this month.
Trinidad and Tobago is one of the 15 countries where International Inspiration is currently working in order to fulfil London 2012's bid promise of 'reaching young people all around the world and connecting them to the inspirational power of the Games so they are inspired to choose sport.'

On the surface there is much about the Youth Olympic Games which mirrors a Summer Games – but in the IOC's vision for the Games, there is much which is different and special about these Games too.

Theo, London 2012 50p coin designer, 18 March 2010
Back in the summer last year I entered a competition to design the next 50 pence coin based on Cycling for the Olympics so I thought I would give it a go, never expecting to stand even the slightest chance of winning.
