London 2032 anyone? The Olympics could return to the capital within 20 years, according to Mayor Boris Johnson.
The site where most of the events have taken place this year is to be renamed the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after the Games and at a press conference today Mr Johnson said the park would host international competitions in rugby, athletics, hockey and diving over the coming years.
He also suggested the Olympics could return to the capital.
"An endless, endless series of global sporting events coming, and quite rightly - and why not the Olympics, again?” he said.
“We have made an unanswerable case for hosting the Olympics again in the next 20 years."
