    If you want to own a part of the 2012 Olympics, then take a look at the official olympic auction site, where you can buy just about anything from costumes worn at the opening ceremony, through flags and memorabilia to used equipment - including batons from the relays, javelins, balls from handball and volleyball matches etc, even the bars they had to clear in the high jump.

    I keep looking for Tom Daley swimming trunks but so far no luck - I guess they were so tiny, they're probably hidden away in the small print somewhere.

      I wonder if they'll auction London off.

          I actually thought you meant a piece of history Fidgetsmum, not the Olympics. Not interested, sorry. :)
