Last week the Evening Standard broke the story that Olympics bosses had started informal discussions with London to move the 2016 Olympics from Rio to London in the event that the Brazilian city wasn’t ready in time.

This was due to the fact that preparation for Rio are well behind schedule, with only 10% of construction complete with 2 years to go. To put that into perspective, London had completed 60% by this stage.

I must say that even the slightest prospect of the Olympics returning so soon left me giddy. I volunteered in the ceremonies for London 2012 and it was probably the best time of my life! Unfortunately the Guardian and IOC quickly scuppered my dreams.

Despite stating that Rio was ‘not ready, in many, many ways’. An IOC official was reported saying that a move from Rio to London was ‘totally unfeasible’. This did leave me wondering what the appetite for another Olympics would be so soon after 2012, and if not 2016, when would be the soonest Londoners would accept the games back to our city?
