We thank everyone for their tremendous support over the past 5 months that this site was set up. We set this and the Facebook group up to support the bid, which has now become reality.

We will continue to provide in-depth coverage of the developments in preparation to host the Games in 2010. Look forward to more insights, more movement and more contributions. We also will cover many non-official aspects of the Games and everything that might have to do with it.

We have received many letters detailing support, thanks as well as people volunteering to do their bit. We have tried to reply everyone of you, but the barrage of your letters has overwhelmed us this week. If we do not reply you, do forgive our oversight. We assure you, we will make every effort to read and forward your support to the correct parties involved, and hope you will carry on supporting the Olympic dream.

To end this post, here we have the shortened version of the winning announcement. Expect more news from us over the next few days as the dust settles.

We also have the full 15minute announcement below.
