GLASGOW 2014
Tom Daley taking part in a Glasgow 2014 event at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, which will host judo and netball next year
legacy commitments. There were two legacy frameworks established early in the process and the legacy ambitions were outlined clearly. That allowed us – the organising committee – to accen- tuate and connect with the legacy plans much more easily.
What challenges remain? It’s a case of confidence but not compla- cency. We absolutely need to build on our successes now we’re very much into the detailed planning phase. Our testing and readiness programme will soon be starting up and that’s the stage at which you really start to see where you are with everything and where you might want to make adjustments and respond to any potential issues appropriately. I think Glasgow is going to be a great host and it’s all coming together just
More than 50,000 people applied for the 15,000 volunteer roles – a new record
as we wanted – but we certainly aren’t going to be naive and take our eye off the ball. Every remaining aspect and point will be approached with a sense of urgency, because at this stage it’s im- portant that everything is done right.
Since London 2012,
there’s now more trust in major events and what they can achieve

How has the success of London 2012 helped Glasgow 2014? It’s helped a great deal: London wiped away a huge amount of cynicism around the concept of ‘the power of sport’, which I think is particularly important. There’s now a belief in what sport can
achieve: there was a feeling in London that the nation was ‘winning together.’ As a result, there’s now more trust in
major events and what they can achieve. London is a great reference point for us and I’m confident that we can deliver something similar next year.
