"One of the primary reasons the London 2012 Games were such a resounding success was the support of the British public. Time and again, Olympic and Paralympic athletes from around the world talked about the atmosphere of the Games and the impact of the enthusiastic crowds that filled the venues. From the torch relay through the two Games, the morale of the nation was lifted and a gift given to the world. The news today is an opportunity for the BOA to say thank you -- to LOCOG, to the British Government, to the thousands of volunteers who were tireless in their enthusiasm and to the millions of people who supported the Games and Team GB."
