London 2040?

While it’s obviously all about vote-grabbing, I must admit that the announcements detailed here caught my attention. “Sadiq Khan has said that he would aim to bring WrestleManiaSuperbowl and NBA to London and put together another winning bid for the Olympics in 2040. The Mayor of London – who is seeking re-election on May 2 – also announced today a ‘new boost’ into grassroots sport and underrepresented communities via City Hall’s £20 million Go! London fund.” While I’m not that fussed about wrestlemania or the superbowl, you know how excited I get about the Olympic Games. I see it as the world’s biggest sporting and cultural event; to see it held in London for a fourth time (my second) would surely be awesome. Mind you, in 2040 I’ll be 57, and there’s a very long time before then. That aside, it’s great to see that Kahn is eager to put London forward to host such events and to get this great city the attention it deserves.
