London is synonymous with sport and boasts activities from football to marathons, cricket to the Olympic Games. In 2012 London will be the first city in the world to have hosted the Summer Olympics three times. Our unrivalled team of top writers bring readers the latest comment on the capital's sports news, regularly updated as it happens.
