The schedule of events for the London 2012 Olympic Games has been released.

The first action will be women's football in Cardiff, Glasgow and Coventry on 25 July, two days before the official opening of the Games.

The middle weekend promises to be unmissable, with British trio Jessica Ennis, Christine Ohuruogu and Paula Radcliffe set to be going for gold.

The men's 100m final, with Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt likely to be centre stage, takes place on Sunday 5 August.

Still waiting to hear if they want me as a volunteer! I've worked two Olympic games and a Commonwealth games, so I have experience and will travel!

Just take up the wallet, and ensure that it is loaded, and by ADDITIONAL credit card

But these kinds of big events, it takes always many police officers, maybe you will be chosen to be involved in the safety

I remember the tickets for curling weren't that bad

If your willing to sit through boring events i guess the tickets won't be too expensive and/or hard to get

Another bloody millstone around our necks paying this claptrap off for years to come.
