Your reaction to the 2012 Olympic decision

London will host the Olympic Games after winning a vote in Singapore.

Paris had led the race all the way, but London edged the favourites on the day to win enough votes.

So how are you feeling about the result?

Are you really pleased and excited?

Are you very disappointed?

Perhaps you are inspired to get training so you can take part.

Or do you think there are more important matters than who gets the Olympics?

I think it's GREAT! We are hosting the Olympics. I love watching it on television and it would be even greater to go and see it in London.

I think having the Olympics in London will be remembered for years on and never forgotten - this is going to be one of those unmissable events London rarely gets! Go London!

Nadine, 15, London

I am so happy about the capital getting the Olympics. It is a time to celebrate and wait to see the world famous event right here in London.

Jamie, 11, London

It's rubbish. £10,000,000,000 of taxpayers money wasted and London filled up and even more over-crowded. I'm really disappointed.

Ruth, 15, London

We think it is a brilliant idea that we are going to host the Olympics because we are mad about sport and we are excellent at sport.

Tanyel and Keri, 13, Hertford

I am upset because I have already signed some papers to say that I would've been able to help in Paris in 2012.

Susanna, 12, London

Yeah!! London deserve it and we might win more gold medals as our athletes are used to our climate! It's weird to think lots of us children will be grown up by then though!

Sarah, 15, West Mids

London is sooooo the right place to hold the Olympics. We have the room to build the arenas and we have some of the best athletes ever!!!

Georgia, 10, London

I think it is great as it will raise the economy but the people with houses which are going to be built over will lose their homes. Hopefully they can change the plans.

Caitlyn, 15, Tyne and Wear

It is awesome and I could be shooting there in London in 2012 if I get a lot better!

Lizzie, 11, Heathfield

Fantastic! It was so tense when it was between France and England, London deserved to win after all the effort they put into it - a job well done!

Bethany, 12, York

I was stuck in traffic whilst listening to the radio and we were all screaming out the window - I CAN'T WAIT!!! But I will be 22!!!

Courtney, 15, Princes Risborough

I am so glad we have got it - we stayed in at play time just to send this too. We jumped up and cheered each other.

Nicola and Imogen, 10, Bristol

Woopeee! I was hoping it would be in London.

Taya, 12, Chicago

Great - London deserve the chance and can provide the quality needed.

Amy, 12, Manchester

I am really pleased and really excited that the Olympics are coming to London.

Kirsty, 15, Newcastle

It is pretty cool. I really hope I get to go and see it in London!!!!

Issy and Vicky, 15, Sevenoaks

London deserve to host the Olympics since they haven't hosted them since 1948.

Craig, 14, Newton Aycliffe

I don't understand. I'm so sad. I'm French, so I was supporting Paris. All the French are sad today because we were all in favour of Paris whereas in UK, you weren't as happy to have the Olympic Games as we were in France. I'm feeling so disappointed like all French are! NO WAY, I won't go to London to see the games even if I usually love this city. I hope that one day in my life I'll see the Olympic Games in Paris in honour of its fondator Pierre de Coubertin, a French. Paris deserved the games!

Laura, 15, France

I don't actually care in the slightest. I never watch the Olympic games so it's no great excitement for me.

Emma, 15, Kilmarnock

Made my day, that has. Absolutely brill.

Loz, 14, Dartford

Go England! Yey we won! That was good! London, London! Hip Hip Hooray! I can't believe it! Yippie! London Rules!

Kennet Y3 Class The Royal School, 8,

We think it's wonderful news and really special that the Olympics are coming to our country.

Wiveliscombe Primary School, 9-10

It is going to be great the Olympics is actually going to be at London!!

Sarah, 13, Margate

We think it is fantastic news that London has won the Olympics, we can't wait

Violet Class, 6-7, Cardinal Newman School

I am looking forward to it. I can't believe it's London out of all those other countries. I want to take part !

Soudaba, 11

WOW! I am so excited. I really want to go to the sailing so I hope i'll be able to get tickets in a few years time!

Kat, 14, Scotland

I think it's really good that London is hosting the 2012 Olympics. I want to take part!

Bilal, 10

I cant believe it! yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Luke, 14, Pontypool

We are very excited that London has won the Olympic games. Our assembly was about the Olympic bid: we always expected London to win because our capital city is brilliant. We will be 13 & 14 in 2012 and so we will remember it for the rest of our lives. Please say thank you to all the people who have tried their best to make London win. Thank you.

1C, The Hills Lower School, 5&6, Bedford

We are glad it is in our country. It will be remembered for a long time and we can be a part of it. Some excellent sports buildings will be built for the future. Our country will get more popular. Some of us aren't happy because London might get too busy.

White Class at Jotmans Hall, 8-9, Benfleet

We're delighted to hear the amazing news and we're so happy and excited it is happening in our part of the city. We were very nervous at first. We hope in 2012 we could be watching and maybe even joining in the Olympic games. we can't wait until 2012!!!

4c class, Marion Richardson school, 8 and 9, East London

It's a wonderful result for the whole country. It was a nail biting and nerve wracking experience, waiting for the president of the IOC to announce the result. London 2012 is not a dream but a reality for many young children who aspire to become top athletes

Sam, 15, Colchester

Great I am so glad London got the Olympics!

Rachelle, 12, Hereford

Brilliant news!!! Let's just hope that all the new venues will be put to good use permanently, unlike the Millennium Dome!!!

Julia, 14, Belfast

It is brilliant news that London will host the Olympics. I will be 17. I hope I will be there!

Ella, 10, Tortworth

Fantastic, I can't wait for the Games to start. I'm gonna go to as many events as I can!
