Journalist and literary critic Nicholas Lezard visits the RSA to deliver his verdict on the London 2012 Olympic games.
RSA Thursday
After all the hype and apocalyptic predictions; the dizzying highs and embarrassing lows; the Olympic season is officially over. And was it all worth it? Did we get our £9 billion’s worth? Have we turned a generation of young people into budding athletes? Have we turned our best face to the world? Do we have the legacy we hoped for? Or were we just mobbed by lots of muscly people in branded shorts?
Journalist and literary critic Nicholas Lezard visits the RSA to deliver his verdict on the London 2012 Olympic games.

Speaker: Nicholas Lezard, journalist and literary critic.
Chair: Sam Leith, former Literary Editor of the Daily Telegraph, and regular contributor to the Evening Standard, Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Spectator and Prospect.
