In 2012, London will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games for the first time since 1948. The Games will be an amazing festival of sport and culture: a spectacular sporting event that the whole nation can get excited about.
There is a real opportunity for Southampton to join in the celebrations and be a part of this amazing event, not least when the Olympic Torch comes to Southampton. There are also opportunities for schools and children to get involved, for volunteers to take part in local celebrations, for communities to help dress their street and capture the spirit of the Games and the excitement of the nation.
Great Britain has some amazing competitors preparing to take part and show that we have some of the best athletes in the world. Some of those competing at the Olympics and Paralympics are from here in Southampton and as soon as Team GB is announced we'll be letting you know who they are.
