- Sportsmanship. Promoting sports to the world.
- National Health. Boosting national health campaigns, raising awareness as to why exercise and healthy eating are important, with the help of the athletes.
- Diplomacy. Allowing the United Kingdom to strengthen diplomatic relations with visiting and competing countries.
- Tradition. Continuing the Ancient Greek tradition of the Olympics.
- International reputation. Boosting reputation massively over the globe, which was much needed over the very unpopular decision the UK made earlier to declare war on Iraq.
- Businesses. Increased visitors meant more profit for businesses. Much needed during times of recession.
- Expansion. The Olympics gave the British the perfect excuse to build an "Olympic City". A mini-city within London dedicated to sport and fitness, further encouraging the nation to get healthy.
- Morale. The world is suffering from recession and the effects of the war on terrorism. The Olympics provided a much-needed global morale boost.
- Peace. All five competing continents drop politics and conflicts for a temporary truce.
- Inspiration and motivation. The Olympics inspire and motivate individuals all over the globe to reach for their dreams.
- Science. Large sporting events such as the Olympics are perfect opportunities for scientists to conduct research into sport science. Boosting our knowledge of the human body and advancing in technology to help people sport-wise and fitness-wise.
- Equality. The London 2012 Olympics were the first ever Olympic games where every country had a woman and women's teams competing. Because England has very strict anti-discrimination laws, no country competed with an all-male team. This has opened the doors to global gender equality.
- Disability awareness. The paralympics raised international awareness of disabled people, knocking down a lot of barriers and stereotypes, removing a lot of discrimination towards the disabled. This has opened the doors to even more equality.
- Humanity. Reminding the world that we are all human, we can all work together despite differences and we can all achieve something, no matter how difficult it seems.
