2012 Olympics Were Fun for David Swanton

Not everyone can say they live in a city where the Summer Olympics have been hosted three times. Of course, not many people remember the summer Olympics of 1948, the second time the city of London hosted the event. But everyone remembers the recent 2012 summer Olympics which took place in London as well.

David Swanton was in the city during the Olympics and he thought it made for a very fun few weeks of parties, celebration, sports, and so much more. London became home to an even larger international crowd than usual. The city seemed to completely liven up and there was a lot of work done before the games even started that had been put off for years like improved crosswalks and similar traffic improvements.

David Swanton enjoyed the Summer Olympics of 2012. Everyday there was plenty of entertainment and news to keep him occupied. He enjoyed following England's successes throughout the Olympics and he was very proud of their success. England performed pretty well during the Olympics last year. In the games, England brought home twenty-nine gold medals, seventeen silver medals, and nineteen bronze medals.

David Swanton was proud of the English team during the Olympics. One athlete, Victoria Pendleton, actually accomplished a new Olympic record during the games. She accomplished a time in the women's sprints of 10.724'' and broke the Olympic record set many years before. It was a proud moment for her and her country.

David Swanton is happy he was able to experience his home city hosting an event as prestigious as the Olympics. While they had some minor problems, overall he thinks they did a great job at handling the massive amount of work and organization that the event requires. It's unlikely that London will see another Olympics for a long time, but if they do David Swanton will be very happy!
