Richard Bacon at the Olympic Stadium two years before London 2012.
Gary Lineker joins Richard and Gordon Farquhar to assess the future of the stadium after London 2012 - will it be the long term home of West Ham? Gary gives his verdict on the state of England's World Cup bid for 2018 and looks ahead to prospects for the new domestic football season.
Sir Chris Hoy walks and talks his way around the Olympic Stadium with Richard... and beyond. The four-time Olympic gold medallist in cycling explains what a home Olympics will mean for British sportsmen and women - and how to deal with the pressure of expectation.
Sports Minister Hugh Robertson and Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales join Richard to discuss the potential impact of spending cuts on UK sport ahead of the Games and the wider legacy of London 2012.
Sir Matthew Pinsent won four Olympic gold medals in rowing. He reflects on life in the Olympic village, carrying the British flag in Sydney, and how to interpret the medals table - and sprinters Simeon Williamson and Jeanette Kwayke rejoin Richard and Matthew.
