Olympian cost... By Florent B


It's the third time that London has hosted the Olympics Games. This time, London has decided to make it BIG!
 
The logo, designed by the Wolff Olins agency, cost £400,000 (about 500,000€). 
 
The rock group Muse has composed the anthem... Cost? 
 
Artists like Coldplay and Led Zepplin will play during the opening ceremony... Cheap? 
 
The budget is £10 billion, and rising... 
 
Most installations are ready, but the budget will explode, with the cost of security being the principal cause;  the Army will post 7000 soldiers during the Games, security services will be about  £553 million, and £600 million will be spent on police... 
 
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson does not seem worried at the expense... 
 
With that kind of dosh being splashed out, let's hope the Olympics Games in London will be THE great event of 2012!
