NFR - London Olympics 'to be held in French'

[VB]

The official language of the London 2012 Olympics will be French according to secret contracts seen by the Daily Telegraph.

French is the first language of the International Olympic Committee and as such that means that it must take precedence at all Olympic ceremonies including when medals are being handed out.

The presentations will also take place in English but any statement in English "should be read after the French".

All "billboards and pageantry" must also be in French, with English relegated to a second language for the duration of the Games.

Soyez calme, le président belge (évidemment) du COI parle le Français aussi que l'Anglais.
Rest assured, the Belgian (evidently) chairman of the IOC speaks both French and English.

Which may explain why they can't understand the voting for World Cup hosts
