London 2012, mistakes,omissions and Olympic protocol violation!




Since last friday we hear about about the olympic games at london and their comments about the greek mission.
I will not say about their food comments
or about the nonexistent hospitality,
or about the nasty behavior to the greek athlets, but
I will tell you about the mistakes, the omissions
and the Olympic protocol violation


First of all the have no control input at the stadium

(Indian officials are mystified – and miffed – after an unknown young woman managed to march with the country's athletes and officials during the opening ceremony Friday night)

The Olympic altar must lighting by only one athlete.



(London choose seven young athletes lighting the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony)

When the Olympic Flag is raised in the opening ceremony, the Olympic Anthem is played
 and also when the Olympic Flag is lowered at the closing ceremony.
(The Greek national poet Kostis Palamas wrote the poem 'Ancient eternal and immortal spirit' and its music was composed by Spyros Samaras for the 1st Olympiad where it was sung as the Olympic Anthem in the opening ceremony. At the later Olympics other anthems were played. The International Olympic Committee formally and unanimously adopted the Samaras-Palamas work as the official Olympic Anthem in 1958. When the Olympic Flag is raised in the opening ceremony, the Olympic Anthem is played and also when the Olympic Flag is lowered at the closing ceremony).

The British failed the Olympic anthem lyrics!!!!
....And then they change locks!

Scotland Yard has launched an investigation after a set of keys for the Wembley went missing.
Police checking security at the stadium lost the keys.
Locog stressed that the keys were internal and that the relevant locks have now been change.

I save the best for the end

The flame, a symbol of the Olympic movement which is supposed to burn for the entirety of the Olympic Games
London 2012 Olympic flame 'goes out'!
The Olympic cauldron has been extinguished and the flame transferred to a lantern as the eight-metre high structure is relocated to a different part of the Olympic Stadium.


I will only say it once.
Mr.Jacques Rogge, the home of the Olympic Games is one, GREECE.

and for the record
the only decent moment at the opening ceremony was this one


22:21 The Olympic teams parade begins with Greece leading the 204 teams around the Olympic stadium.
