Shadow Beast Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just heard on the news that the 2012 Olympic medal giving is going to be announced first in French then OUR Language! WTF is that all about? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/8190503/London-2012-Olympics-to-be-held-in-French.html Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 WTF is that all about? As the first tongue of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), it must take precedence at medal-giving and all other Olympic ceremonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yeh but surely in your home country you should be able to announce the medals in British? Just think you have spent a life time to get to the Olympics, trained and worked your backside off, won gold in your chosen discipline in your home country only for it to be announced in French! i'd be well annoyed!

Scoboblio Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If this happens at every olympics, I see no reason at all why London 2012 would be any different. Did you notice that the announcement of the 2018 and 2022 world cup venues took place in Zurich, but was announced in English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Oh yeah, the olympics, I had forgotten about them since they haven't been in the press that much, guess they wanted to get people talking again....TICK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
