London 2012 'will surpass Sydney' '

London 2012 will surpass Sydney and be hailed as the best Olympics ever staged, Australia's leading IOC member predicted as organisers marked 100 days to the start of the Games.
Kevan Gosper, an IOC member since 1977 and a vice-president of the Sydney 2000 Olympics organising committee, said London 2012 had succeeded in turning the Games into a nationwide event rather than one just focused on the capital.
Organisers launched their slogan for the Games - Inspire a Generation - with Gosper in attendance and he said there would be no envy from Australians if London takes over Sydney's mantle as the best Games there has been.
Gosper said: "Records are set to broken. Sydney got the accolade of the best-ever Games but that was 12 years ago."
The 100 days to go launch event at Kew Gardens in London also saw the unveiling of giant Olympic rings in a flower display which will be visible from flights arriving at Heathrow airport.
Organisers also announced the Red Arrows - the RAF aerobatic team - will perform a flypast across the UK to mark the opening ceremony on July 27, flying over London 2012 live sites in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London.
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe said: "I am delighted to announce the motto Inspire a Generation.
"It is everything we have been saying since we have started this extraordinary journey, not just since we got across the finish line in Singapore."
The organisation of the Games has been relatively untroubled with all the building work coming in on time and within budget and London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton said organisers would be "paranoid" in ensuring complacency did not creep in.
Deighton said: "When it comes to the risk of complacency I can assure you in life these days only the paranoid succeed so there is absolutely no danger of us not looking at every risk that would prevent us delivering these Games in the effective and spectacular way we have promised."
