[|Transforming the city through the Olympic Games] - The connection between sport and urban regeneration is not obvious but somehow the Olympic Games have become tied up with major urban renewal projects. How did this happen and what does it mean for London's Olympic Games

[|London's past Olympics] - When London won the right to host the 2012 Olympics, it made history in more ways than one, becoming the only city to hold the games three times since the first International Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Rear Vision looks at those two earlier London Olympics, held in 1908 and 1948.

Quotes
The people who watch the Olympics are not particularly sports fans. More women watch the Games than men, and for the women, they're less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. It's sort of like the ultimate reality show and mini-series wrapped into one. And to tell the truth, it has been the complaint of a few sports writers. It has not been the complaint of the vast viewing public. - NBC chief marketing officer John Miller

NBC points to its live streams as evidence that people can watch events like the gymnastics finals live if they want. Showing the most popular sports at a time most viewers are available is a service both to the fans and those who bought more than $1.2 billion in advertising. "The way we create our storytelling and our narrative, mixed in with incredibly compelling competition, I think is working for men, women and children," NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus said this week. "And that's our goal. This is a very big tent and all are welcome. We program, we schedule, and we try to create a show around the competition that's welcoming to all. And I think so far we're finding success." http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/olympics/20160812_ap_238535535ff24b219bc12c4e92c89fd9.html

"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." –[|Olympic Charter]
