No.
It will never be topped, it is a masterpiece of design and engineering. The Japanese would have a good go at topping it but I don't see any other country making something like that.
It can be topped, it'll be hard as fuck but it's possible
I can't wait to see Rio. I know Brazil is going to be a great host.

Is it a big deal that Eric Idle dropped the S-bomb on US TV during the day... or did it get censored?
The flame? When?

MANCHESTER!
Seriously though, I don't see it happening for another 30 or so years and surely it wouldn't be London again. It would have to be a different UK city, maybe Cardiff.
I was not a fan of London's Olympic flame so it shouldn't be hard to top it for me.
And now, back to reality:
- 0% economic growth
- Our political coalition falling apart
- A murdered child's body underneath the police's noses the entire time
You forgot London riots before the Olympics.

Istanbul is the favourite.

The US didn't see it live on TV, but I dunno about the stream. It'll be prerecorded and likely censored on TV.
In Canada they aired it as-is.
Waaaay more than 30 years, try at least 70
September next year, Istanbul seems most likely I think

It's so nice to be able to say for once that I'm proud to be a Londoner and really feel it too.
What a thrilling few weeks this has been. I remember the joy the day it was announced (and the heartache for our fair city the following day). Seven years of anticipation - containing everything from hope to cynicism, and we totally delivered. The Park is magnificent, the Stadium looked brilliant. Everything was planned and pulled off to perfection. The Opening Ceremony was fantastic, the Closing Ceremony was just a party. And most important of all, the sport has been brilliant. Not just from Team GB, but all over, in so many disciplines.
There's a little tear in my eye. I think the next few weeks until the Paralympics is going to be the worst hangover ever.

Haha i admire your determination.
It's finished. Thank you Seb Coe and everyone who helped bring the games to London.
BBC were stunning throughout, the BBC's London 2012 coverage is the new benchmark for Olympic broadcasters.
Brazil's 4 minute segment was very entertaining, I can't wait for their World Cup and Olympics.

Tokyo is most unlikely.
People are still afraid of nuclear radiation and Japan is still dealing with the radiation leak.
Istanbul/Constantinople will most likely voted for 2020.

If you're in the uk, the BBC Olympic website has all the events available to wtpatch until jan 2013
not Constantinople?

NBC only did a live internet stream, they haven't broadcasted it yet on television, it'll be the usual tape delay and cut in half for moar interviews type affair.

I don't think they are any of our athletes. Not boxers. Don't think swimmers. Maybe team sports, footie, handball, volleyball?
On BBC you can look at a profile of every athlete at the Olympics.
And now, back to reality:
- 0% economic growth
- Our political coalition falling apart
- A murdered child's body underneath the police's noses the entire time
'Could we afford it?...probably not, was it worth it? absolutely'
I would like to believe suddenly Londoners will be so much nicer etc but yeah reality it is then
