One year to go until the Olympic Games 2012

The countdown has begun in earnest: today it's just one year to go to London 2012. And from tomorrow we'll be counting down days, not years, to the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The sported. team are excited about the year to come and all the plans we have for working with voluntary and community groups to help them become increasingly business savvy. So ultimately they can do what they do best which is improving the lives of disadvantaged young people through sport. We say; let the Olympics inspire more and more young people in our communities to get involved and improve their lives through sport and sported. intends to be there step by step supporting these young people through our Member organisations.

Some information below from the London 2012 Organising Commitee on what they have going on today, one year from the Games...

LOCOG have got some very special events lined up to mark the day including the first swim in the Aquatics Centre pool and, this evening, the first dive - by none other than double Commonwealth gold medallist and London 2012 hopeful Tom Daley.

Tonight in Trafalgar Square, International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge will invite the world's athletes to compete in the London 2012 Games. Olympic dreams will start to come into real focus as the world turns its attention to London.

Join in the celebrations now online on the LOCOG website and on BBC1 tonight from 7pm. Watch the video where Jonathan Edwards gives an exclusive sneak peek from inside the Aquatics Centre.
