<p>Government has published reports on the legacy from London 2012, with the most
recent of these in August 2016. This showed that the Games generated over £14.2bn
in economic trade and investment benefits, that Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east
London is thriving and that the country continues to keep the spirit of London 2012
alive through community and arts initiatives established during the Games. The outstanding
performances of Team GB and ParalympicsGB at Rio 2016, with both teams finishing second
in their respective medal tables, shows that the public investment in elite sport
developed in the run-up to 2012 and sustained since has paid dividends. The government's
sport strategy, Sporting Future, aims to build on the success of London 2012 and make
our country more active, with a sustainable and responsible sport sector, whilst continuing
to excel on the world stage.</p>
