This time last year, you were never more than three feet from a news story about the Olympics. But, with 11 months of back-to-normal, non-Olympic life safely under our belts, it's time to take stock of the lasting impact of the Games.
If you were a spectator, volunteer or competitor at the Olympic or Paralympic Games, what have been the lasting outcomes of your experience? Have you kept in touch with people you met at the Olympic Park, for instance?
If you live near one of the Olympic venues, have you seen improvements to the local area as a result of the Games?
Or if you were watching the Games from afar, were you inspired to get fit or to take up a new sport? Perhaps you bought a bicycle or tennis racquet – full of good intentions – and have never used it.
