Music, entertainment, sports acrobatics and even accompanied us during the London Olympics, officially ended with the closing ceremony held on Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico. A unique event that, after seventeen days of intense, reported record audiences and has yielded good results to the blues engaged in various Olympic events.
The closing ceremony
As a self-congratulatory in a few other occasions, the closing ceremony of the Games 2012 has been exclusively focused on London and all that is by definition 'British', with several stars of pop music today that there have been on stage together art, design and poetry. A very explosive mix that has put on the same stage, The Who, George Michael, the reproduction of Big Ben, dozens of dancers, the famous 'black cab' - the legendary taxi blacks that raged through the streets of London - and even return to the scene Spice Girls to complete. A unique, cost between events, structures and organization of over 11 billion pounds, which was finally sealed with the passage of the Olympic flag with the five rings of the Mayor of London Boris Johnson and his Brazilian counterpart Eduardo Paes, Mayor of Rio De Janeiro, where the city will host the 2016 Games. All under the complacent gaze of Jacques Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee.
The medal
Real matadors at the 2012 Olympics were, as always, the United States who took home 104 medals, well, with 46 golds, 29 silvers and 29 bronzes. Second place for the now ubiquitous China, with 88 medals and 38 golds, followed by the United Kingdom with 65 medals overall - twenty-nine the most precious metal -.
The Azzurri
Improve is not always easy, but the Azzurri at the 2012 London Olympics have failed in the enterprise, with results superior to those achieved in the last year in Beijing. Eighth, with 28 medals - 8 gold, 9 silver and 11 bronze - Italy despite the disappointing performance of some faces of the first floor of the swimming and other disciplines, however, has led to incredible results for home to make history. The triplet blue - gold, silver and bronze - in women's foil and the subsequent triumph of those champions in the team foil is, without doubt, the most beautiful cover for sport blue this year. In addition to the joys, however, there are also many pains and sorrows for the Italians: the failures of swimming are on the covers of all newspapers, but the nine 'medals of wood' collected in various disciplines are difficult to swallow a bitter pill, especially when you consider that each include champions like Tania Cagnotto and Vanessa Ferrari. All this without considering the resounding success of the challenge for the gold of Roberto Cammarelle in boxing, super heavyweight category, which has been allocated to the gold medal table points to the UK's Anthony Joshua. An outcome which, according also to many magazines worldwide, has been nothing short of unjust.
