Londoners and visitors travelling through St Pancras International are being wowed by the unveiling of the first set of giant Olympic Rings, kicking off the transformation of the capital into the Host City of the London 2012 Games.

We caught up with London 2012 mascots Wenlock and Mandeville in ‘Adventures on a Rainbow’, the second instalment of their animated film. They’ve been busy travelling round the country meeting GB athletes Tom Daley, Phillips Idowu, Ellie Simmonds, Shanaze Reade and Mandip Sehmi.

This week LCOOG has awarded the 1,000th London 2012 Inspire mark to ‘Jump London’, a London-based project designed to develop and support the safe teaching and learning of Parkour, also known as Freerunning, by a qualified instructor.

The London 2012 mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville, Paul Deighton, LOCOG CEO, BA staff and children from Cranford Primary School posed for a photo at the opening of the new London 2012 shop at Heathrow Terminal 5.
