Roald Bradstock: Has the time come for a “Super-Olympics”?

10 April 2009By Roald Bradstock - 10 April 2009 As an artist and an athlete I find the recent discussion about the "The Cultural Olympiad" and its role in the Olympics very interesting. A journalist wrote in an article recently that "it" would "be a tiny side show" to the Olympics and Paralympics in 2012.
