Video: Lord Coe: The London 2012 Olympics are 'in great shape' Marking 200 days until the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 27, Lord Coe outlined the mood at The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog). "We're in great shape and I say that without complacency because there's a mountain of work still to do," Lord Coe said. But he added that it was "very good" to be finally getting control of the venues and getting "our teams in there to transform them into theatres of sport." All of us know that the next seven months are going to be hard pounding. Ninety-five per cent of the Olympic venues are reportedly complete but many still require final touches, including the state-of-the-art media centre.
