Sarah Bowron, Managing and Commercial Director for insidethegames said: “These figures prove once again that when the world wants to know what is happening in the Olympic Movement they turn to insidethegames. Just like the athletes, the team at insidethegames rose magnificently to the occasion.

“We set out to make insidethegames the ‘destination’ website for the Olympics and we not only served up the most up-to-date news on the issues and stories surrounding the Games but we also provided information on things like how to book accommodation, buy theatre tickets and rent office space. Visitors could even book a taxi through insidethegames.

“But we cannot afford to rest on our laurels. As one Olympics finishes the world looks to the next one which is why we have already started planning for Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016. There is also another ‘home Games’ in 2014 when Glasgow stages the Commonwealth Games.

“insidethegames will continue to bring you the best, most up-to-date and incisive coverage of all these events as well as the stories that will shape the future of the Olympic Movement, including the race to be the new President of the IOC and which city will host the Youth Olympic Games in 2018 and the Summer Games in 2020.”
