Coe confident of 'great Games'

The chief of the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) is confident the city will deliver a great Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 after learning from his Beijing counterparts.

"The Beijing Games will be remembered, in my view, for wonderful elite sports, superb organization, stunning venues and spectacular Opening and Closing Ceremonies," said Sebastian Coe, the British double Olympic medalist and chairman of LOCOG.

"Beijing (organized) a great Games. We have a great responsibility and we will match Beijing and also deliver a great Games."
