6The full picture

Getty Images will supply most of the world's images. The photo agency snagged the spot of official photographer of the Games, with about 60 photographers set to snap 30,000 or so pictures. It will be capturing images in 3D, along with 360 degree shots, and the company will be employing helicams (small flying camera-rigged robots).

Ceremonies and some other events will speed by in time-lapse shots, perfect for consumption on an iPad, says Georges De Keerle, senior director of photography for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Getty Images used these techniques to capture the last massive event in London, the Royal Wedding.

7Not to be outdone, Reuters photographer Fabrizio Bensch provided snapshots of the revolutionary work he's a part of, using robotic DSLR cameras mounted where no man could go, which are operated from the ground by joystick-wielding photographers. Reuters will also be using a remote photo-editing system it developed in 2006 called the Paneikon. It lets the agency's photo editors stationed around the world grab images, crop them, tone them in Photoshop, add a caption using a feature called Quick Words, and ship the product off to Reuters subscribers.

8Gold!

Mexico ended their wait for an Olympic medal in style as they overcame Brazil 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to claim gold at London 2012.

Luis Fernando Tena’s well-organised side, in which over-age players Jose Corona, Carlos Salcido and final matchwinner Oribe Peralta blended well with emerging stars such as Marco Fabian, Javier Aquino and midfield dynamo Jorge Enriquez, were worthy winners.

El Tri’s previous best in the competition was a fourth-placed finish on home soil back in

1968, but while their first-placed finish may have been unexpected, it was certainly

deserved on the day against an out-of-sorts Brazil team, whose search for a gold medal

continues.

Having secured silver in 1984 and 1988, and bronze in 1996 and 2008, hopes were high that Mano Menezes and his talented squad would finally end their Olympic curse. After five wins out of five en route to the Wembley showdown, expectations rose still further, but now they must wait four more years until Rio de Janeiro 2016 for another chance to be crowned champions.

9Like the next Olympics, these Games had the benefit of being played out in a football-loving country which proved to be the perfect host. Iconic stadiums such as Wembley, Old Trafford and Hampden Park provided superb playing surfaces, excellent facilities for players and public alike and, crucially, bumper crowds.

The South Koreans reached the semi-final stage with just one outright victory, a 2-1 win over Switzerland in the group stage, during which they also stopped Gabon and the eventual winners Mexico from scoring.

Indeed, London 2012 set a new record aggregate attendance of 1,525,134, beating the previous record set at Los Angeles 1984. The only disappointment was the exit of the hosts, Great Britain, at the quarter-final stage, knocked out on penalties by eventual bronze medallists Korea Republic.

Olympic Games

London last hosted the Olympic Games in 1948, but back then it

was a radically different place to the capital we know today. A shell of a city after the Blitz, London embodied the Olympic Creed: "The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."The Games were making a comeback of their own, having been on a 12-year hiatus during World War II.

Together, London and the Games soldiered on in what became known as the Austerity Games. The city accommodated athletes and events in repurposed rather than newly built facilities. Athletes shuttled to events on London buses and stayed not in an Olympic village, but in RAF shelters and schools. Rationing was still in effect, and the gold medals were made of oxidised silver.
