no merit[edit]

Does this really merit inclusion on Wikipedia? Personally I don't think so. Lost4eva (talk) 21:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Flat Pack Olympics' Not Addressed?[edit]

Hmm, The so-called 'Flat Pack Olympics' (due to so many venues having no legacy and being constructed of 'flat packs') seems to have no entry here, why is that? The issue has received wide coverage and British Shooting is seeking a judicial review. See:

Should we include the "unofficial" Olympic Legacy?[edit]

This all seems very official to me-what about the possibility of having 2012 Olympians in the BBC programme Strictly Come Dancing? Or that Superstars will be revived in 2013 for Comic Relief set at the Olympic Park, or whether the School Olympics can also use the Olympic Park? 92.20.157.58 (talk) 14:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With the end of the staging of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics I am updating this page. All comments and additions welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashart1 (talk • contribs) 14:41, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reordering[edit]

Some reordering of the entries is appropriate, so they are in date order, while the 'Javelin service' is reported as still running 'as of February 2018' - over 5 years ago. Jackiespeel (talk) 20:27, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
