It's all about the numbers

I came across this today during my lunch break and thought it was interesting and worth sharing on the blog. For one thing it gives a real sense of perspective and scale of the undertaking for delivering the Olympic and Paralympic Games for London 2012.

The Games in numbers

• A worldwide audience of around 5 billion
• Over 10 million tickets
• Around 14,700 athletes from almost 200 countries
• A total of 805 events
• 46 world championships
• 30 days of competition
• 1 million hours of training
• A workforce of 200,000
• 10,000 temporary toilets
• 200,000 temporary seats
• More than 1 million visitors to the Olympic Stadium
