     "London is ready to welcome the world," commission chairman Denis Oswald said. "We can feel that
London is feeling the fever of the games."
     On April18, the British capital marked the 100-day countdown to the opening ceremony of the
Games, which will be held from July 27 to August12, with a series of events. A giant set of Olympic
rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, were unveiled at Kew Gardens in west London. And the motto for
the London Olympics has been announced as "Inspire a generation."
     London 2012 chairman Seb Coe announced the motto. He said: "It is everything that we have been
saying since we started this extraordinary journey." Coe added that the motto is also a call for athletes to
come to the U.K. to perform at their very best and inspire the world.
     The preparations for the Games are proceeding according to plan-being both on time and within
budget, according to London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton. Deighton said that millions of people
around the U.K. are getting ready to celebrate the biggest event in sport. "Eight million of the 11 million
tickets have been sold to people in Britain and we are sure that Brits will get hold of a chunk of the other
three million too."
     Many of the test events have already been held at the Olympic venues. And a bigger one will come on
the first weekend of May in the Olympic Park.
    Coe has been mentioned by the British media and British bookmakers as among the contenders to light
the flame, although his position as organizing committee leader always made that seem unlikely. Five-time
rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave remains the betting favorite.
