  • The eyes of the world are on Wales today as the country plays host to the first event of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

WAGOLL:

Wonderful Wales, Wants Olympics!

 

The Olympics are a once in a lifetime event. Isn’t it time Wales was given a chance on the grandest stage of them all? I think that Wales deserves the chance to host the Olympics and I am about to explain why, so read on to find out more.

 

Firstly, I believe that this is a massive opportunity for Wales to showcase everything that is great about this nation. Wales has a passion for sport, which is highlighted by the world class venues that we already have that would be able to host Olympic events. There is the Principality Stadium, Swansea.com Arena, the Celtic Manor Resort and the Cardiff City Stadium to name a few. Wales is use to holding major events already at these state of the art venues and this is one of the reasons why I strongly believe that the Olympics would be a success if Wales was given the chance to show the world what it can do.

 

Overall, I feel that it is time for Wales to be given the chance to put on the greatest show for the world. The people of Wales are a proud community and Cynefin is a strong feeling of belonging and a passion for where you come from. The people of Wales would not let the world down if given the chance and it would be an honour for them to get to share this with the world. For these reasons, I hope you now feel the same way and can see the strengths that Wales, a proud nation, a welcoming nation, would be able to show the world.
