"The first years after Athens took the Games the progress of preparations were disappointingly slow," Rogge told Greece's Ethnos newspaper. "In recent years though the progress achieved by Athens organizers and the government is impressive." Rogge, who was chief overseer of the Games before taking over the IOC in 2001, said he would continue to worry until the opening ceremony. "The hosting of the Games is a great responsibility and it is not something that can be taken lightly," he said. "Security remains the number one priority." Greece has budgeted $750 million on security the biggest amount in Olympic history and plans to deploy a 50,000 security force during the Games from August 13-29.

Ask a member of the Beijing 2008 bid committee and they’ll probably say the same thing. Of course, a lot depends on what people class as politics. On the sensitive subject of human rights around which most opposition to Beijing’s bid has centered the Chinese leadership argues the issue is simply not a political one. Instead they say it is a difference of culture, dressed up as a political stick used to engage in a bout of China-bashing.
