As the organizers of the London 2012 Olympics were presented with the finished athletes’ village on Friday, exactly six months ahead of the games, they stressed that preparations for the Games remain on time and on budget.

The Summer Games are expected to attract 900,000 visitors to the United Kingdom’s capital in July and August. The festivities will kick off with an opening ceremony designed by famed film director Danny Boyle, who has a lot to live up to after the elaborate display that launched the last Summer Games in Beijing.
