TASK 2: Research, 2012 olimpycs part 6

4,200 athletes from 160 countries are expected to attend with 471 medal events on the programme.

There are currently 196 independent countries or States around the world. Territories of countries or individual parts of a country are not countries in their own right.

'In the last three Paralympic Games (Beijing 2008, Athens 2004 and Sydney 2000) Paralympics GB has never finished lower than second in the medal table. Beijing 2008 was the most successful Paralympic Games ever for Paralympics GB with a final tally of 42 gold medals.

More than half, 55 per cent, of the British Paralympic team in Beijing in 2008 were at their first Games, making London 2012 a fantastic prospect for more medals.'

'Britain on high alert during Olympics with terror threat classified as 'severe'

Britain's security services will be on high alert during the Olympics with the terror threat to be classified at 'severe' despite the level being downgraded by the Government this week.
Home Secretary Theresa May announced that the assessment of a terrorist attack had been lowered to 'substantial' which means that the risk of an attack is considered a strong possibility and could occur without further warning.


Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson said Tuesday that the planning assumption for the Games remains that the threat will be at severe - the second highest classification, meaning an attack is highly likely.
Earlier this month Police began testing Olympic venues against all potential terrorist threats, including from Irish dissidents and Islamists.

Dry run: The security forces are already preparing their response to any terror threat

Next summer's Games are predicted to be Britain's biggest peacetime security operation, with the government setting aside a budget of £600million for the security operation.
Fans will face airport-style security before being allowed into venues, with queuing taking between 15 and 20 minutes during peak times.
The showpiece event will coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Munich Olympics, when 11 Israeli team members died after being held hostage by Palestinian gunmen.'

When the world wars were taking place the Olympics where postponed due to the war meaning traval beetween Countries would be to dangerouse as athletes did not wish to become casualty's of war nore prisoners of war. this affected Summer Olympic Games were not held in 1916, 1940, and 1944. Winter Olympic Games were not held in 1940 and 1944.
in 1992 the games where held at Albertville, France and a short time of two years later in Lillehammer, Norway the Winter games where held again this was to put the sumer and winter games to alternate every two years. this was also a good tourism move as people can now attend both rather then one or the other.

Bridging the Gap was developed by the British security industry association and North Herfordshire collage. This was formed to create new stewards to protect the bystanders at the Olympics and paralymic games, with this training the people who complete the course can go into door supervision work as well. This is a great opportunity as the pay rate is great and its all self contracted work so you work the hours you want to work. the course is also to provide students with a springboard for future careers in the uniformed services and armed forces.

Briding the Gap qualification provides a wealth of opportunities within the £6 billion security industry that employs approximately half a million people and on average, recruits 60,000 people a year.
