BBC Radio 4 - Children of the Olympic Bid, Series 5, Episode 2

Peter White tracks the lives of youngsters who contributed to London's 2012 Olympics bid.

Peter White talks to the East End teenagers who led London's bid to host the Olympics, finding changes in their lives and that some still harbour hopes of competing in 2012.

When Sebastian Coe presented London's bid for the 2012 Games at the IOC meeting in Singapore on July 6th 2005 he was flanked on the stage by the London teenagers. They were seen as crucial in helping secure victory over Paris - representing the sporting dreams of the nation and the rich cultural, ethnic and religious mix of the capital. Since then Peter White's been following them, their families and those who train alongside them.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
