South Korea Awarded 2018 Winter Olympics

After two consecutive unsuccessful bids, Pyeongchang finally gets its chance to host Olympic games. There were a lot of tense people sitting in Seoul plaza in the South Korean capital on Wednesday night, eyes fixed on a big-screen television, waiting for the decision from the International Olympic Committee assembled in Durban, South Africa.

But the anticipation turned to celebration when IOC president Jacques Rogge named Pyeongchang as the site of the 2018 Winter Olympics. After two consecutive unsuccessful bids, Pyeongchang finally got its chance to host the games.

Ahn Kyoung An, who was in Seoul plaza, said she’s thrilled South Korea won this time. “We are also very stunned,” she said, “because we tried a lot of times.”

Pyeongchang is the center for winter sports in South Korea, but many here hope that getting the Olympics could turn it into an international destination.

That sounds a little ambitious, according to Jason Lee, a sportscaster with Korea’s Arirang TV, but he said Pyeongchang resorts are already luring some foreign skiers.

“They’re bringing people from countries that don’t have snow, from Southeast Asia, from Africa,” Lee said. “They’ve got good intentions in trying to make Pyeongchang an area that is just not central to Korea.”

Lee added that the hard part now is making Pyeongchang’s facilities meet international expectations. Major transportation projects are planned to make the three-hour trip from Seoul a little less of a trek.

“I think they defiantly do have a long way to go, but the fact that they have the support of the Olympic committee, the nation is fully behind it,” Lee said.

With Wednesday’s decision, South Korea becomes the second Asian nation, after to Japan, to get the Winter Games.

LONDON 2012: Freeland stars again as GB slump to defeat against Croatia

GREAT Britain staged a brave but unsuccessful fightback as they went down to Croatia at the London 2012 basketball test event.

KEY ROLE: Joel Freeland was the star man for Chris Finch's GB team - top scoring with 22 points (British Basketball)

British coach Chris Finch was delighted as they made a storming start to race into a double digit lead but they were soon pegged back by a team placed 37 places above them in the rankings.

Croatia then established control but the hosts' fighting spirit was evident as they rallied from an 18 point deficit to lose by just five points - 75-70 - at the buzzer.

Joel Freeland continued to look good for Finch's side, leading the scoring with 22 points, while Mike Lenzly and Andrew Lawrence added eight and ten points respectively.

Great Britain converted 82 percent from the free throw line but the difference between the teams was from the three point range, where they missed rested sharp shooter Nate Reinking, hitting just four from 23 attempts.

“I think we came out hot in the first quarter, second and third weren’t too good but we definitely showed we can compete in the fourth," said Freeland, who also impressed in their defeat against France on Tuesday.

“We brought it back in the final period, and it’s not easy to do that against world class teams.

"It was definitely better than yesterday. We’re learning all the time, we’ve only been together for two weeks and we have another two weeks to get better. We’re learning, and that’s what we’re here to do.”

Elsewhere, China’s woes had continued as they suffered a 87-53 hammering against Serbia, Great Britain's next opponents on Wednesday.

Milos Teodosic led the Serbs with 19 points, three rebounds and four assists in a team-high 21 minutes, while NBA big man Jianlian Yi finished with 20 points and seven boards to lead all scorers for the Chinese.

France and Australia served up a much better game, with the former winning a thrilling 71-67 contest, inspired by San Antonio star Tony Parker's 27 point haul.

Park's slam dunk debut! First look at our games as Basketball Invitational tips off

A building site in Stratford, corralled within electric fences and inhabited by muddied men in hard hats, was a bizarre venue for Olympic sport on Tuesday.

This time next year the Games will be all memories and archive material but for the first time the place that will become the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was entered by paying spectators.

Up and over: Nicolas Batum of France (No 5) goes for a slam against Great Britain

Basketball had the honour of going first of 26 sports, and 3,000 Londoners the thrill of cheering inside an arena sold out for the Games.

This was the London International Invitational, featuring six nations, including Great Britain, over four of the next five days. The event is part of London Prepares, the Games' testing programme.

The Arena, costing £60million and dubbed the Wedding Cake because of its white exterior, is temporary but could just as easily be an NBA arena - an illusion which will be made complete this weekend when Chicago Bulls' Luol Deng appears in a GB vest.

Ready for action: The Great Britain players line up for the London International

It was the lack of competitiveness in the opening game that told a different story. China were inept as Australia thrashed them 71-43 and later Britain - minus Deng - fared little better, losing 82-60 to France.

Deng's absence was the biggest talking point for Britain, who found a more experienced France team too strong.

'I thought at moments we played well, and at moments we played like a young team trying to find itself out there,' coach Chris Finch said. 'That's pretty much what we are.'

Britain had trailed for most of the game, but kept it close until the third quarter when the gap was four, 45-41. But from there, France began to pull clear and led 60-48 at the end of the period.

Having a ball: Crowds enjoy the action at the Olympic Park dubbed the Wedding Cake (see below)

A British rally made it 64-56, but France moved through the gears once more and finished strongly.

Joel Freeland led Britain with 16 points while veteran guard Nate Reinking had 11. San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker poured in 23 points for France with Nicolas Batum adding 14 and Joakim Noah 10.

'We've got a lot of guys who are first-timers in the national team trying to find their feet,' said Britain captain Andrew Sullivan. 'Everyone gave a lot of effort but the fact we're a young team showed.'

While there was disappointment on the court, the specially-constructed arena itself received positive reviews from all the teams.

A bit different: The outside of the arena does look like a wedding cake

'It's pretty impressive,' Sullivan added. 'It's just a shame that it's only temporary. It would be nice if it was going to stay.

'The atmosphere was really good, and we're really looking forward to playing here next summer when there are 12,000 people here.

'Hopefully, the majority of those 12,000 people will be cheering for us and you really get a feel for what it could be like.'

Leading the way: Joel Freeland was the top scorer for Team GB with 16 points

There were some teething problems with the new arena, not least as the wrong tune was accidentally played in place of the Chinese national anthem.

However, China's American coach Bob Donewald did not seem to mind as he gave a glowing review.

'First-class event, first class teams and a first-class facility,' the former British Basketball League coach said.

Spurred on: San Antonio star Tony Parker scored 23 of France's points

2012 Olympics Launches New Event: Competitive Tweeting

The website for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games just got a bit more rowdy. It now features an interactive contest designed to discover which country has the biggest online fan base.

The contest ranks the top 20 countries based on the number of tweets, YouTube videos and Flickr photos submitted. Fans already have submitted more than 20,000 tweets with Great Britain in the lead, followed by Brazil, the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands.

To be considered, tweets need to include the hashtag #1YearToGo, along with the three-letter code for your country. The aim of the contest: to promote the fact that we’re a year away from the opening ceremony of 2012 London Games on July 27, 2012.

As with past sporting events, social media will play a huge role in how fans participate in next summer’s 17-day festivity, whether they’re watching from home or at one of the 32 Olympic venues. We’ll have to wait to see if the level of tweets reaches the magnitude seen during this month’s FIFA Women’s World Cup final game, for example, when Twitter users set a new record of 7,196 tweets per second.

Last month, the Olympic Committee officially encouraged the 10,500 competing athletes from 200 countries to “take part in social media and to post, blog and tweet their experiences,” so long as their efforts are not for commercial purposes.

Tweets aside, the official Olympic website — London2012.com — has cranked up ways for fans to get involved well before the opening ceremony. In March, the website unveiled a feature in which users can create an Olympic mascot and share it on Facebook and Twitter.

Now the 2012 Olympic Games is faster, higher, stronger And FATTER!

The organisers of the London 2012 Olympic Games have sold out to McDonald's so spectacularly I wouldn't be surprised if Jessica Ennis collects her medal on the podium and is then asked 'Do you want fries with that?'

If you missed the grotesque development I'm referring to, allow me to provide a free refill - I mean recap. McDonald's has been allowed to open its largest-ever 'restaurant' right in the heart of the Olympic Park, a facility stretching 3,000sq metres across two floors, with three more of its burger outlets plonked elsewhere on the 2012 site.

Supersized: An image of the record-breaking McDonald's restaurant in the Olympic village at Stratford

Apparently this centrepiece McDonald's will have 1,500 seats and 'brightly coloured stools', which is an unfortunate by-product of selling all that fast food I suppose. There are also claims it will provide the largest peacetime catering operation the country has ever seen.

Well done everyone. Kerching! Defibrillators all round.

The Golden Arches of the American burger giants have been entwined with the five Olympic rings in a mutually beneficial death grip for so long we almost forget to be staggered by the strange marriage sport forges with junk food.

The idea McDonald's is even allowed to be a sponsorship partner for sport or pretend it in any way contributes to sporting prowess is simply illogical.

Talk about mixed messages. I haven't been this confused since my accountant told me I could save money by giving to charity. It's like tackling global warming by putting air conditioning units on the polar ice caps to keep them cool.

But there are times when a few words of sense remind us of the underlying idiocy behind these associations; step forward Olympic silver medal-winning boxer Amir Khan.

Asked about McDonald's massive presence at London 2012 he said: 'This is clearly sending the wrong signal to kids and young people. If we want them to be healthy and educate them to eat healthily, we need to think about approaching them in a different way, especially around sport.

'The Olympics are a great opportunity to show young people what types of food they need in different aspects of their lives. I think this is a mistake.'

And there you have it. Khan had landed one of the more meaningful punches of his life. A top athlete had reminded the 2012 organisers that their responsibilities extend beyond merely clearing a space for a burger giant in return for a supersized cheque.

McDonald's (and Coca-Cola and others) tip money into sport's pockets because it is a wonderful public relations exercise. They want you to make an automatic, often subliminal, link between their brand and sporting excellence.

At this point some paid lackey will be emailing me to point out how much money McDonald's puts into youth coaching.

One of its executives even argued recently that its initiatives offer youngsters a chance to burn off excess calories accumulated by eating junk food. (At places like, McDonald's for instance).

That may be the case. I will even concede it is possible to eat at McDonald's every single day and not gain any weight. And here's how you do it:

• Take your Big Mac and remove the meat slices...
• Place the two burgers carefully over your eyes...
• Lick the mayo off the underside of roll while eating the gherkin...
• Then nibble the remaining items while standing on one leg.

You might feel ridiculous as you do this, but you won't be half as ridiculous as the people who think you can eat McDonald's every day and not gain any weight.

The global companies would prefer you to forget their sweaty, artery-clogging burgers made from '100 per cent beef' - and definitely not ground up cow's lips, eyelids and bumholes as some claim - are unlikely to ever make you a champion. They hope you will forget their tooth-rotting fizzy concoction contains 10 teaspoons of sugar in every can as well.

They want you to believe Big Macs and Coca-Cola are a natural fit with sporting endeavour, which is why footballers are paid to kick a ball about in front of their logos and why athletes will swear a trip to McDonald's once in a blue moon won't do any harm, when they are at a McDonald's event.

Of course it won't. The odd burger is fine for someone doing regular exercise. But the target audience for these initiatives are usually far too busy eating McNuggets in front of the Nintendo to do any running about.

Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the last decade. One in four children is now officially obese. Diabetes is on the rise and a lack of education about dietary habits is a root cause.

Hanging a medal around Ronald McDonald's neck at the biggest sporting festival this country has ever held isn't going to reverse that alarming trend, although it might accelerate it.

This is not about food snobbery, either. I am not a vegetarian, a food Nazi or a 'fussy eater' (a euphemism for 'brat'). I eat anything and have a healthy appetite. Admittedly, that has caused problems . There was the unfortunate night in the French restaurant when I said: 'Waiter, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse' and he took the remark more literally than I'd intended.

But sports authorities are plain greedy. Football clubs run around selling alcohol brands on the front of their jerseys, yet fans can't buy a beer at the ground. Gambling is the preserve of the over-16s, but children have the names of various bookmakers on their football shirts.

Cigarette brands, once the mother lode of commercial partnerships, are now considered sponsorship lepers.

I don't suppose one cigarette every few weeks will do much harm to the system either, but they were still rightly banned from any association with sport because they were plain unhealthy.

Sport has obligations that go beyond making cash, but it has been surrendered here.

Naturally, the Government hasn't said a peep. It has stood idly by, salivating at the sweet smell of money mixed with deep-fried fat wafting towards them.

It made a mockery of the guff about how 2012 would bring great health benefits and be 'the real legacy of the Games'.

It's nothing new, of course. Back in Roman times, Emperors distracted the public from the issues of the day with food and spectacular contests at their colosseums, a policy the poet Juvenal described as 'bread and circuses'. It seems little has changed, except the price, although ' burgers and circuses' might be more accurate these days.

A brilliant Oscar win

There were two truly heartening Olympic stories this week. First among them was the sight of the incredible double amputee Oscar Pistorius qualifying for the 400metres at the 2012 Games.

The man erased boundaries between the Olympics and Paralympics with one astonishing run. It is a remarkable achievement. Pistorius is already a winner at London.

Blades of glory: Oscar Pistorius deserves his place at London 2012

The British have an Olympic sensation too. The world champion open water swimmer Keri-Anne Payne was the country's first athlete to qualify for 2012 and is sure to be one of the faces of the Games. I know how much hard work she puts in. She deserves every success coming her way.

Williams is just the moan man

Tiger Woods' caddie Steve Williams got a little carried away with his Aretha Franklin this week.

After hearing his 12-year job hauling a bag around for the once brilliant golfer turned waitress botherer was over, Williams demanded some R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

'I think anybody in my situation would say they didn't have total respect and that respect would have to be earned,' he moaned. 'Obviously this is certainly not earning my respect. I told him he had to earn my respect back.

'He was aware of that and right now I've lost a tremendous amount of respect for him. Through time I hope he can gain my respect back. He definitely needs to earn my respect again, that's for sure.'

Tiger attack: Axed caddie Steve Williams (left)

He may have added: 'And all I'm asking in return, honey, Is to give me my profits, when you get home - just a little bit'. But I can't verify that last extract because by then he was talking to the hand.

Remember this caddie got more than just a little bit. Tiger once gave the bag carrier a Ford GT worth $140,000 after winning a tournament. In fact, the sublime sporting talent of Woods earned Williams an estimated $12million in their time together.

That is for reading a yardage chart, wiping a nine iron with a towel, holding a flagpole and then saying 'it looks like it might go left to right'. But not in a lap dancing club, of course. Because Williams says he knew nothing about Woods' insanely manic private life during their time together, which is an extraordinary admission over 12 years.

So either he's covering his tracks with the missus, or the two men had a relationship based on pure business, not friendship.

Either way - with respect, Steve - do shut up. What you want? You know you got it.

Not so hot off the press

Breaking transfer news: Cesc Fabregas still wants to join Barcelona; Carlos Tevez still intends to join a club that isn't in Manchester; Luka Modric is at Tottenham but still doesn't want to be and Wesley Sneijder is still earning a lot of money at Inter Milan and seems far from inclined to give it up.

That's right, people. The situation is constantly changing by the hour.
