Surrey County council had
big plans to celebrate World Olympic Day
and that proved to be a good countdown to welcome London 2012 Games. Children and sportspersons
along with teachers and councilors joined the bandwagon with pride. It
was after all to create the Olympic rings which is held in high regards across the
minds of everyone in the world. So it would be nothing like representing the
rings. All the participants treated the chance as a great honour. 1,852 persons
form George Abbot School and GB athletes
formed Olympic Rings on the School field.
Saliagopoulos Surrey Council’s cabinet minister for Community
Services said that it was great to see
so many children make a piece of Olympic history. It was really
spectacular to see so many persons being a part of the Olympic Rings. It looked
as though even nature had to laud their efforts. The moment the participants
broke the record there was a heavy downpour on the field. However instead of
dampening their spirits the group took it to their stride. Everyone could not
stop smiling.
The event was intended to involve more students into sports. Getting
more children into sports would lay an implicit stress on remaining healthy and
fit. Further it also teaches the children the values of working hard with dedication. This would
steer them to achieve their goals.
The previous world record for the Largest Human Olympic Rings was set in
Beijing,China featuring as much as 1,202
persons on June 24, 2008.
The Largest Human Olympic Ring
was formed by 1852 people ahead of London games 2012 at Guildford,
Surrey, United Kingdom on June 30, 2011.
