Exactly one year from today the Olympic Games 2012 will be inaugurated in London. Even most parts of the world are still in times of economic crisis, preparations have been on the go ever sin London celebrated the honour of having been selected as host for the world's biggest sports event.
For the organisers the most important and foremost concern is the budget and the security, together with the aim to create the enormous human warmth like the games in Barcelona 92, and the magnificently spectacular Games in Peking, to leave a good legacy for the future in aspects of tourism, economy, social and sports interconnection worldwide.
The magnitude of all that summed up in figures:
* 10,500 million € is the estimate to stage and run the games. In 2003 it was only of 2,690 million €, more than triplicated.
* 6.6 million tickets are on sale. More than 20 million have already been booked, but over 1 million only for the final of athletics of 100 metres.
* 70,000 volunteers would be chosen amongst 250,000 applicants.
* 17,320 beds is the capacity of the Olympic Villa, the biggest in the history, which will be converted afterwards in 3,000 apartments.
* 6 football fields is about the equivalent extension of the principal centre for the press where 21,000 professionals of the media work, coming from every corner of the world.
