Rather worrying news about the London 20 12 Olympics.

The Olympics marathon and distance walking events were being organised by Dave Bedford and the London Marathon team. Great choice as every year they run a fantastic event with hundreds of thousands of spectators that involves the cooperation of many central London communities, local authorities, emergency services, Royal Parks and many other public bodies. They also generate charitable funds for the area.

He resigned stating “I quit my role. We [London Marathon] are a professional business run by professionals and it was very difficult to work for another organisation who in the main have never organised an event of their own”.

If the London Organising Committee (Locog) are that hard to work with and lack essential experience it doesn’t bode well for the £10billion+ Olympics we’re all funding.
