My 2012 Legacy. As part of the London 2012. Legacy, we ask staff about their favourite moment and how its changed them.. This month, resident Media Mogul Mr Hill Mogul What was your favourite moment of London 2012? Mo Farahs Gold doubleamazing moments we all shared! How was London 2012 important to the country? It was important to show how well we organise things and also to hear a crowd lifting the sportsmen and women. What do you hope is the legacy of London 2012? That people will take up more sport and more funding will be available to the sports that were seconds or inches away from medals. Also that the spirit that the games were played continues into other sports, especially football. What is your personal legacy? I wrote an email to the BBC saying that athletics was the best Saturday night television I had seen since the golden age of TV in the seventies - and now my parents and I are going to go and watch more live sport. it's an inspiration to me personally when I see men and women older than me competing in sport - I think at least I should be doing more than throwing darts! I now I will!
