He continued: “The campaign for the 2012 Olympic Games brought together powerful competitors and we are honoured to have been part of this race. We have gained considerable experience and learnt to follow the highest IOC standards. We promised to develop our sports and city infrastructure whatever the outcome today, and we will respect this promise.”
