In 2005 London won the bid for hosting the Olympics in 2012. It was originally estimated to cost the city £2.4b.
Two years later this figure has risen to £9.35b, nearly four times the original forecast.

Oh yeah, Obama ate a whole shave ice without getting a headache. Take that Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin polished his action-man credentials Friday by skiing in Sochi on the first day of a visit to the host city of the Winter Olympic Games opening in a month.
The leader — who in the past has been photographed fishing and horse-riding bare-chested, piloting aircraft and a submarine, hang-gliding, playing ice hockey and practising judo — donned a black ski-suit along with Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev for a run close to a complex that will be used for downhill and biathlon competitions in the Olympics.
The Winter Olympic Games are to take place February 7-23.
Putin’s visit, which a spokesman said would last several days, comes after suicide bombings December 29 and 30 in the southern city of Volgograd, 700 kilometres (400 miles) from Sochi, that counted as the deadliest attacks in Russia in three years.
“In the next days, the president will closely inspect the mountain and coastal sites and again verify the preparations made for the opening of the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” the spokesman said.
Putin has staked his image and prestige on a successful and safe Olympics. Russia has poured more than $50 billion into the event and has imposed tight security in and around Sochi and in nearby cities.

I really enjoyed the one Jewish Skater's performance, even though he fell
once, and did not take it all.
I shut my values off and rooted for him, for a minute, and prayed for him that he is not like the majority of the other male skaters, and have all the Elton John albums ever made.
Go ahead, blast me.....
It would not the first time.
Never the less, he had a great performance.

Why? Other than the glitch during the opening ceremonies and the oppressive security everything has been going very smoothly.
