Quotes from the locals brThere were lots of promises but nothing seems to have happened brHigh crime rate brPeople just walkout of Poundland with stuffbrCrime rates have gone up Comment from : Roops |

Now the poor locals will be levied an extra tax , it's to save the environment, don't you know, it's called ULEZ This is on top of huge parking permits, parking charges, high rip off rents and highest cost if living in Europe Comment from : Roops |

A whole video about legacy but you did your best not to mention the name of the saviours of the stadium WEST HAM UNITED Comment from : Bagels Fury |

We bash ourselves but the Olympic park, CrossRail and Queensferry crossing proves we can still build big projects Wish the government would get fully behind HS2 Comment from : Scott Whitley |

I wish the games went across the country Comment from : SGlenny |

Stratford is transport hub Comment from : Tan S |
 |
Although not an explicit sporting venue, I highly recommend you do an in-depth story on the O2 Arena (aka the millennial dome) Started as a New Labour white elephant govt project, now transformed into a globally recognised multi-purpose entertainment venue + shopping district + restaurants/bars + the subsequent development around the area (eg Greenwich Peninsula) Comment from : Homeslice |
 |
I think if Minnesota bids to host a Summer Olympics, they should use the existing arenas and stadiums, such as US Bank Stadium, Target Center, Target Field, Xcel Energy Center Only build if there's going to be a future use for those venues Comment from : Brandan Fiedler |
 |
Sydney 2000 did a good job Comment from : Liam Donegan |
 |
There is more than the legacy too Almost all the unneeded “bits of Olympics” were sold off after the games I have a huge whiteboard that was used by the teams, three of the large parasols and much more Also, the first “missing bridge” mentioned wasn’t scrapped, it’s at the British Triathlon headquarters in Leeds, where it’s used to gain access over the purpose built training track Almost nothing was wasted Comment from : Muppet Keeper |
 |
I live near the park, and it's been a wonderful transformation from wasteland to Olympic host site to new community It's also beautifully landscaped too Really, if you're in London some time, please visit Some impressive architecture too! Comment from : meerkatologist |

How many Development Corporation's do they need? There's at least 3 in the first 4 minutes Comment from : David Earl |

Large arenas like this are not sustainable Comment from : Adam T |

I feel like Lake Placid could be an interesting comparison Comment from : Ricky |

Boycott the CCP Olympic Games Comment from : EdgyNumber1 |
 |
Not exactly sustainable Cost the tax payers millions to convert into housing, and the stadium Don't go there It cost us a sodding fortune Comment from : Junior Balls |
 |
It’s horrific that these facilities are still costing money The olympics robbed money from museums and cultural facilities across the UK, and that funding has never come back 10 years, enough is enough Comment from : Lauren Child |
 |
No word about those venues that aren't there anymore Comment from : NeoDerGrosse |
 |
one thing that is also missing from this is the media centre up at Here East at the top of the park was turned into Loughborough University (London Campus) - Loughbourgh famously known for sports and getting your PE Teacher Qualifications and also BT Sport have a studio still in the building and there are many other retail units right on the canal that are also always busy As someone who volunteered at the Games and still volunteers at the park as well as at large sporting events I always feel its like coming home when I go to the Olympic Park for the first time in a while I still get goosebumps and remember how the games brought the city together I won't forget the opening ceremony either and how it showcased the UK and also that we have hosted the modern games now 3 times Great you showed the London 2017 Athletics in this video that was a massive event for the stadium, just a pity you didn't show some of the annual events that happen in the Velodrome and on the Hockey and Tennis pitches Also London has a basketball team that play at the Copper Box brLet's hope this legacy continues, oh and sometimes you get to see Tom Daly and the other divers at the Aquatic Centre training Comment from : Salty Seabears |

Unfortunately, homelessness among the poor has increased and the use of food banks too has increased Comment from : r r |
 |
It would be interesting to contrast this with Rio 2016 Comment from : Paul Liversidge |
 |
Now let’s talk about property prices, community development, re-zoning of Stratford , distribution of profits etc Comment from : Elijah Turay |

Taiwan did very well after hosting the 2017 Summer Universiade Comment from : Alieu J |
 |
I originate from Barking but left in 2001 iI used to frequent the area where the Olympic Park now is when I lived there (in Barking)/i - I don't think I'd recognise the place now Thames View in Barking itself has changed so much in the last 20 years it's unreal But I have to say i am so glad I don't live there any more! Comment from : Paul Faulkner |

YAY, give London EVERYTHING ! Comment from : Airline Secret |
 |
The problem is that London didn't gain much as a consequence of the Olympics It was already a worldwide successful and well known city The 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, on the contrary, helped the city make itself a name and become famous Many cities have tried to replicate Barcelona's success but failed Comment from : CityWhisperer |
 |
I remember visiting Montreal CA , the beautiful stadium ( in its olympic days ) was in disrepair , the big O stadium is called by canadians as the Big Owe stadium it costs Billions to build, still continues to cost Billions taxpayers money to maintain it , now its used as the refugee camps , there is a lot be learnt by looking at these modern day ruins Comment from : R J |
 |
London followed Calgary's legacy facility model Comment from : Race Pace Masters Swimming |
 |
They did a great job, just a terrible shame that the stadium wasn't built for purpose It was only ever possibly going to be used for for football, so why not plan for it like the commonwealth games in Manchester and let West Ham pay for the development post games Most football fans hate the stadium Lord Coe has a lot to answer for The stadium isn't viable as it is and will pretty much have to given to West Ham and hope it won't bankrupt them Comment from : Jon Kernow |
 |
FYI Brazil Government Comment from : John Lawler |
 |
I live in Stratford and whilst the Olympics rejuvenated that particular area it did nothing for the surrounding area and borough It is still a litter ridden, flytipped, poor roads/ pavements scruffy ares Get real Comment from : Phil Simpson |
 |
Austerity Cameron Comment from : Malcolm Marshall |
 |
Hmm, turns out that giving Olympics to countries that aren't insanely corrupt or poor turns out better than the alternative Comment from : Canis Majoris |
 |
West Ham may as well play in a Westfield Terrible decision for the club Comment from : glenn symmons |
 |
take a look at the venues used at the olympic games in Lillehammer 1994 Comment from : pkengen25 |
 |
BARCELONA 👍🥰! I will never forget my visit to Mont Juic‘s Aqua Center years after the games were over 🤩! Comment from : Stefan Schneider |
 |
Manches did it first with the Etihad Stadiums and complex Comment from : Stuart Roberts |
 |
Us Brits are very good at spinning bulls*** and selling it as the truth The real legacy of the olympics is well in excess of 9 billion, as well as the legacy of the venues have ended up leaving the taxpayer with a further near 800 million bill brLet none of this spin and drivel distract you from the fact that corruption and dodgy dealing had the olympic stadium handed over to West Ham for practically nothing A 99 year lease with a yearly 'rent' cost of only 25m, reducing to 15m if West Ham get relegated It was actually Branded as the 'deal of the century' by the newspapers This despite West Ham being able to sell their own stadium, and that fact the olympic stadium we were told was only supposed to be for athletics use, and not for football or anything similar brHappy to share more damning information If you'd like Comment from : Baresi-Unico-Capitano |
 |
Having a better legacy than other Olympic venues isn't enough The comparison should be redevelopment projects in general brFrom that perspective it looks a lot like solutionism I think when asked what kind of development London needs most, people would probably say affordable housing, not stadiums brGiven there are plenty parks and green space nearby, there isn't even a strong case for this park brJust look at how empty it looks even on the sunny day this video was shot on Comment from : Ymi_Yugy |
 |
Looks great but really what's the cost London has many problems that's need addressing Comment from : Wobbler |
 |
No doubt that the redevelopment of the site was somewhat benificial to the local area but the amount of money plowed into it has Never been revealed because even before one work started the cost had more or less Doubled from around 6 billion to 12 billion and of course with a project of this size the government could not Allow it to fail so just kept throwing taxpayers money into it brWhile im sure a great many people enjoyed attending and competing in the Olympics I feel that the investment could have been used in better waysbrI would be Genuinely interested in finding out what the full and final cost of hosting this event will be as no doubt there is a very long diminishing tail of continuing expence from 2012 Comment from : Richard Smith |
 |
London was and is the example of how a Olympics should have legacy I have confidence that Tokyo will have its own legacybrbrOn other games, the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games is a example of legacy and success We have everything in place for another games if need be, in fact we hosted the 2018 European Championships with Berlin hosting the Athletics portion If Glasgow was to go again, it would just need a new main stadium as Hampden needs replaced and a new diving centre as we used the one in EdinburghbrbrLondon and Glasgow have been blueprints on how successful games should be when games time is over In fact, we are lucky to have that Comment from : Andrew Kerr |
 |
Helsinki 1952 Olympic arena 90 is working to day Comment from : Jone Master |

Once in a lifetime LMAO Newsflash LONDON has hosted it 3 TIMES!!!! Comment from : Ben Gosling |
 |
Just that logo… that logo was off and a flop Comment from : Official Spencer |
 |
London 2012 - best Olympics ever Comment from : Swan |
 |
The London games has left behind a load of world class facilities which I am lucky to be able to have a go on It must surely be the most successful games there has ever been with regards to leaving the region within which it took place with a real gift for the future Comment from : fiddley |
 |
The olimpics are a big robery Comment from : ttban1988 |
 |
LLDC are an absolute joke Couldn't run a piss up in a brewery Sell West Ham the stadium Comment from : Elite Analyst |
 |
The stadium now is a toilet T---s appear every weekend for nine months Comment from : Stephen Brown |
 |
Coe and chums cost the taxpayer millions by insisting that athletics could become the anchor tenant of the Olympic stadium The transformation into a functional but far from ideal football stadium cost fortunes Hopefully once Birmingham host the commonwealth games British athletics will move there and avoid the adaptation costs at the Olympic stadium for an annual athletics event and make the otherwise excellent park better value for the taxpayer Comment from : Colin Burton |
 |
Lets hope Brisbane is watching this to learn how it is done, Sydney was defiantly not an example to follow for the legacy of an Olympic games ! Comment from : David Barlee |
 |
Nice piece Comment from : James |
 |
Tom Chitty needs to sign off his future reports with “I’m Tom Chitty - bang bang *finger guns to camera*” Comment from : AkbarShabazzJenkins |
 |
They really should rotate the Olympics between three sites Comment from : dkchen |
 |
Soz London was a carbon copy of Sydney Sydney laid the groundwork Comment from : rifoist |
 |
take a shot every time someone says legacy Comment from : Mark Blankley |
 |
The main stadium should have been designed for football after the olympics But Coe and his arrogant blazers ignored that and the stadium was nearly a white elephant but cost millions to convert! Comment from : Paul Furey |
 |
Uk actually did a decent job of organising the Olympics Comment from : EliteDavid Horne |
 |
After 9 years later it is used more than ever and Stratford now is a main hub for socialisation Comment from : Can Kabayel |
 |
Can’t hear the words legacy and sustainability without thinking of Twenty Twelve So that’s all good Comment from : polyglotuk |
 |
Sydney did it first Comment from : Dan96 |
 |
So they made it work for the future, but it isn't going to be possible to host the games again so it's only kind of thinking for the future With less and less bids for the Olympics the committee will be looking for the likes of London and US cities with infrastructure already built to host again and again I think CNBC missed on a chance to ask about how London would cope with hosting another Olympic games with their current knowledge and infrastructure Comment from : FELiPES101 |
 |
Don't bid for Olympics if you can't maintain the area Rio is an example It's not like rockets that could burn up in the atmosphere Either tear it down fast/maintain it/repurpose the area Comment from : Emman |
 |
Has ANY Olympic games had an infrastructure legacy even close to the complete package of sustainable repurposed stadia as London 2012 Comment from : Nigel Bagguley |
 |
Sydney and Melbourne are still using theirs But we Aussies are known for using sporting stadia Comment from : Robert Parry |
 |
Hard yk believe that kess than 10 years ago the JK was on top of the world and now it's entering the abyss of Brexit Comment from : The Arsenal MisFit |
 |
I notice they didn’t once mention Sydney Is that because all this was already done by the convicts 12 years earlier? Comment from : Surfin Theweb |
 |
Of course there’s a McDonald’s, they’re an official sponsor of the games Not that any of the sponsorship money goes to the athletes Comment from : Chris |
 |
Find a single West Ham fan that thinks the move was positive Comment from : Felix Nagl |
 |
The stadium is a bit crap for football The seats are too far from the pitch Comment from : B |
 |
All of the buildings are there to be used so why don’t we retain it as an Olympic area and have future Olympians train there to make us even better at our sports Comment from : Dave Cargill |
 |
Nice to see that London seems to have coped better than most with their former Olympic locationsbrStill, I would abandon the Olympics altogether The Olympic Committee is a corrupt club that pays no taxes anywhere on the world while making billions but does not care about what happens after the games The Olympic spirit died a long time ago Comment from : katarn999 |
 |
There was no plan for the main Olympic Stadium once the games were donebrThat's why there was a long closing period for the stadium to be altered, also there was a debate about who would play in the stadium brThe Olympic Village was also sold off to the Qatari Royal Family brI lived in East London, and I live in one of the host boroughs, and I am not sure about the overall Olympic legacy brThe park is nice to run around, walk around, and exercise, but it feels like a private park sometimes as well Comment from : ocelotrevs |
 |
I'm regularly in Norway and have seen some of the Lillehammer '94 Winter Olympic venues brThe ski jumping venue in Lillehammer, the ice hockey arena in Gjøvik (built inside a mountain) and the figure skating, short track and speed skating venue in Hamar are still used by the public Comment from : StefanD |
 |
Quite careful discussion of the London stadium and how it came to be west hams ground not spurs, avoided the ongoing funding issues and also why if it was to be a football stadium why it was constructed the way it was Comment from : Peter Hall |
 |
Still a waste of my tax money Comment from : John Tomlinson |
 |
Love this report, brilliant work Comment from : Small Screen Seagulls |
 |
The question is: Have the Australians learnt their lesson from Sydney 2000 when they come to, and after they host the Olympics again in Brisbane in 2032? 🤔🧐 Comment from : Keyan Sabzevari |
 |
Beijing did a good job and some of it will even be re-used for winter 2022 Comment from : ZCJKF13GDG4 |
 |
But they've handed a stadium built with public money to a private company (West ham united football club) to profit from whilst receiving very little rental income for it Comment from : M L |
 |
Qatar is going to face this sustainability problem when they host the World Cup in 2022 The countries people are just no interested in football They only have two professional league divisions which consist of less than 20 teams per division Games attendances are also very poor When the world cup is over, the newly built stadiums will wither and die to you not being used Rio (summer Olympics) and Sochi (Winter Olympics) are good examples of how countries get is so so wrong Comment from : Dodge M |
 |
It's really satisfying to see this actually as I remember before the 2012 Olympics all the fuss that was being made here in Britain about what'll happen to these venues afterwards etc and it was all doom and gloom I suppose our pessimistic outlook can be good sometimes Comment from : Joker |
 |
Although on a much smaller scale Manchester was a UK trailblazer for this with the 2002 Commonwealth Games - all the venues have remained in use The aquatics centre is used by the public, the athletes village is now apartments fully occupied, the site houses the national squash centre, the national taekwondo centre, (recent national success), the centre for UK cycling (more success in track and BMX cycling) and of course the stadium is now the home of Manchester City In addition to this, the whole of the area has had massive regeneration and continued investment has continued to pour into the area…ie a new 24,000 seat indoor arena is currently being constructed It was a catalyst for the regeneration of a part of the city that had been neglected for years Comment from : Rufdymond |
