Yes. But, it has been pretty flashy hasn't it? It's a bit socialist of me, but I do have to wonder whether you could have staged a less showy (but still sportingly excellent) Games with considerably less corporate wonga, for the same public/lottery wonga. I appreciate that this is not the way the Olympics roll nowadays.
