Väga hea ajakirjandus - Vanity Fairis põhjalik artikkel sellest, kuidas London olümpiamängud sai ja kuidas suudeti mitmeid kordi kulusid alahinnata.

Goldman Sachs proovib statistikameetodeid appi võttes prognoosida Londoni olümpia kuldmedalisaaki (Eestit nad kullasaajate hulgas ei näe):

Olümpiamängude korraldajad panevad päris ranget tsensuuri sellega, milliseid sõnu Londonis kasutada tohib:

At the organisers’ behest, the Government told the courts they may wish to take particular account of anyone using two or more words from what it calls List A: ‘Games’; ‘Two Thousand and Twelve’; ‘2012’; and ‘twenty twelve’.
And the judges must also come down hard on anyone, even a charity, who takes a word from List A and joins it with one or more words from what is List B: ‘Gold’; ‘Silver’; ‘Bronze’; ‘London’; ‘medals’; ‘sponsors’; and ‘summer’. Common nouns are now private property.

Väljavõtteid telekommentaaridest:

Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
