Conclusion

Summing it all up, sport has had a positive impact on the UK in many different ways. Since sport has come into the equation it has brought many things with it to the UK. Sport in the UK has created and sustained a way of life for many people in the UK. Nearly every day a person has something sport related to do, whether it is going to the gym, watching sport live or just reading about sport.

Although some people agree about the Commonwealth games not having a great impact on the UK, I think that the Olympics will have a positive impact on UK. For example the Olympic stadium it will leave behind could be used by a small football club who may bring glory to the UK in the future, just because of that one stadium. Also the world class facilities built in London could give an idea to the government about making more facilities like that available allover the country. Another thing is that people who own houses around that area could benefit from this by renting their houses for tourists to live in. Not only that but people will have a more pleasant area to live in after the Olympic games. Also the economy in the UK would get a big boost. For example the more people who watch the Olympics would keep or start an interest in their sport, so they will obviously need sports equipment to play sport and this is why many sports retail shops will gain a massive amount of profit. people will be able to keep jobs at sport retail shops because of this. More and more people will join gyms and all the people who had watched the Olympics will want to become just like the athletes the watched at the Olympics. All of this will give the country a chance to live a fit and healthy life. Having these sporting facilities around us, more and more youngsters would want to become athletes and will want to bring glory to their country just like the athletes would have done at the 2012 Olympics.

Overall i think that the Olympics will defiantly benefit all of the UK and will help the different pillars which hold up sport. The Olympics will defiantly pay back what it is worth and will benefit the people of the country with its legacy that its going to leave behind. Hopefully more people will realise how great sport is and will start to take part and get involved in sport. The success which the Olympics will bring will defiantly inspire the people of the United Kingdom to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. London 2012 will bring success to the UK.
