Marilyn Pettipher, 63, shop manager of the Weldmar Hospicecare shop in Great George Street, Weymouth said: "I’ve been rooting for the 14-year-old diver. It’s exciting and you want people to win. We’ve got such talent. It’s a shame to miss the Olympics when it costs such a lot to put on. I just hope we can come up to the standard of China’s decorations and fireworks, when it’s London’s turn in 2012."

Charlotte Dingle, 19, a teaching assistant from Rodwell, Weymouth said: "I haven’t been following the Chinese games. I think I’ll take more of an interest when it’s actually here in four years’ time because it will bring everyone together locally. It’s good to have the Olympics here because it generates trade and a sense of community for us. It will be exciting."

Nicky Hayne, 21, a floor assistant at The Body Shop in St Thomas Street, Weymouth said: "The Olympics is good for whatever country it’s based in because obviously it gets a lot of attention. It will be interesting when the sailing events of 2012 come to Weymouth. The Olympics is a big deal for the athletes involved. It’s good because it’s competitive in a friendly way. I quite like the swimming events."

Simon Bould, 19, a shop-fitter from Weymouth town centre said: "I like the Olympics but I think England should have their own team rather than be classed as Great Britain. It should be England, Scotland and Wales separately. Most of the gold medal winners are actually English and Scotland and Wales take credit for that. I’m definitely looking forward to it coming to Weymouth, it will bring more money into the town."

Phil Hackwood, 40, a carpenter from Stoke-on-Trent said: "I watched the girl win the gold cycling and the swimming. It’s good to see the record breakers and the best in the world competing. I like seeing the younger competitors get their share of the limelight. It’s a very good thing that it’s coming to London but I would’ve preferred it to be in Birmingham, as it’s more central and more affordable for people to visit."

Nicola Gambrill, 32, an executive officer with the Metropolitan Police, of Waltham Abbey, Essex said: "It’s good to encourage young people to take up sports and give them a goal to achieve and aim for. Especially when we do well in the cycling and swimming. The 19-year-old girl, Rebecca Adlington, who won the swimming is a good ambassador for the country and helps to promote us for 2012."
