Thank you, Chair. I should say I was singularly unsuccessful in getting any tickets from the LOCOG website for the simple reason that I used a Visa card and had to go somewhere else, but that is not the gripe I am raising. I think there is a concern about how many tickets the corporate sponsors got on the blue ribbon events.

Thank you. Can I just clarify? You are going to put all the raw data into London Datastore. Is that right?

I think we should not forget that something like 43 World Records and 120 Olympic Records were broken, so they certainly felt comfortable. It is probably the best answer for the Beijing bashers who suggested the air pollution may affect their performance; it probably enhanced it. Coming to the spectators' experience, what I found as a foreigner there was that it was actually much easier for me to get hold of a ticket and I think the Olympic Authority should look at their...

This is not my attempt to get the gold medal for bean counting but you gave us an update on the sponsorship - Paul mentioned the ticket revenues - but the big cash cow is really TV revenue. My experience out in Beijing was certainly that the Chinese are hooked on Olympic gold and I dare say China Central Television (CCTV), Chinese national TV, will pay quite a big price for the rights in London 2012. In some ways we are fortunate to be in this position with two markets: North America and the Chinese market. Given they only paid...
