Its an Amazing Start to the Games!

The London Olympics 2012 were off to a spectacular start, watched by approximately 80,000 spectators and almost one billion TV viewers. The show was filled with humour as it began with Queen Elizabeth II and Daniel Craig (James Bond- Movie Star) was shown in a parody, landing in the stadium from a helicopter. The entire ceremony was packed with humour and lifted the spirit of the home crowd in particular. The odyssey of the show was driven primarily by the portrayal of the British history bringing in to light the time from the countrified past, the Industrial Revolution and the scintillating present. A tribute was paid to the National Health Service of the Country involving participation from the well known names- Harry Potter fame JK Rowling and Mr. Beans fame Rowan Atkinson in the colourful exhibition of the opening Ceremony of the games. The curtain has finally been raised and the stage is set for some of the biggest stars- Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Roger Federer to name a few to showcase their expertise and once again mesmerize the sports ban with their brilliance on the field. It also presents an opportunity for the under dogs to bring surprise element to the games in their pursuit to achieve the Gold medal.
