London is in the best of moods for the 2012 Olympics after a light-hearted presentation of itself at the lavish closing ceremony for the Beijing Games, according to dpa. Football David Beckham said he was fovercome with emotion after the handover of the Olympic flag by China to London Mayor Boris Johnson, who promised a memorable Games in four years' time. No one in the London organizing committee LOCOG is in the least bit worried the British capital will fail to live up to the organizational perfection of the Games in Beijing. "We have not been intimidated," said LOCOG chairman Sebastian Coe. "We knew that China would have first-class sporting facilities. But big does not necessarily mean better." After Britain's unexpected tally of 19 Olympic golds, the nation's press was over the moon. The Sun even had the answer to how London would follow up on the perfection of Beijing - by stressing the fun factor of the Games. More than 100 British LOCOG employees gathered valuable experience in Beijing before and during the 16 days of Olympic competition.
