=> Olympics: All ready for the London Games:-
• After the marvel of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, hopes are that London will provide a similar spectacle.
• This is the third summer Olympics held in the United Kingdom, the first two happening in the early 20th century.
• In the case of London, only time will tell whether its transport system will survive the onslaught of 4 million visitors flooding into the city over Games season; Singapore's North-South line disruptions pale in comparison to Londoners' daily realities.
