It only occurs every four years; it's the most spectacular sporting event in the world. So I cannot take leave of the 2008 Olympic Games without mentioning our wonderful performance: fourth in the medals' table which, for a country the size of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is, indeed, a marvellous achievement. Only China, the USA and Russia surpassed us and, given their size, that is really remarkable.
Let us look forward, now, to 2012 when our great capital city and metropolis, London, hosts the Games.
