More than 10,000 athletes are about to compete at the London
Olympics.

The spotlight will certainly be on them but one former champion,
Jonathan Edwards, will take a particular interest.

He won Olympic gold in the triple jump and his world record in
the event has stood secure for 17 years.

On present form no triple jumper to compete in London looks close
to breaking it.

He was also part of London's bid when the city was awarded the
Games in 2005.

Now he's the athletes' representative on the Games organising
committee overseeing preparations for the athletes.

London is almost at the start line but what did it take to get
this far?
