this next website I visited is a franchise and merchandise shop for the 2012 Olympics. it helps expand the market and helps people express their interest in the Olympics. there is all kinds of merchandise from clothes,toys,models, jewellery to mascot toys and costumes.

this website focuses more on the general issues of the Olympics. for example there's an article about travel and getting tickets for the Olympics and that for some people it will be a 'nightmare'. however it also gives you the latest pictures and videos from the atheletes training for 2012.

here is the link for the website I visited to get this information above:

the website i visited next focused more on what Britain are doing in preparation to the Olympics and their goals for gold in the 2012 Olympics. it also gives more depth on the paralympics and the movement of the paralympics  and of course there preparations.

here is the link for the website I used for the information above:

this is a good website because it tells you about only Britain's preparations which is ideal for someone supporting the British team.

This is relevant because it gives more detail on the athletes preparation on the Olympics and gives the fans a bit more build up so they can know what their favourite athlete is doing for the Olympics.

Research, collect and prepare background materials 2012 OLYMPICS

I have lernt from this website about what the olympics is all about. what the main idea is and how the people involved aspire to make it the best they possibly can by working together throughout. I also learn about how they  are 'making it happen' and what precautions they are taking involving things like transport,funding and the sustainability.




here is the link for the website in which i used to source my evidence
.http://www.london2012.com/making-it-happen/


this is a good source because it tells me in plain English how the Olympics is being organised and what is involved in the plans to make the Olympics a reality.
