let us get a chat with hugh thomas. what a day for you. >> cardiff is really ready for the olympics. >> not all of the tickets have been sold. we hear about 38,000-40,000, so the millennium stadium will not be full by any means. will that be disappointing? >> we are expecting a lot of people to decide on the day. they are encouraged by the weather and the kind of atmosphere and we expect more people will turn up. but it is a great number turning out to see the opening game of the olympics. >> people are actually queuing up to buy tickets. a lot going on here in cardiff at the moment. these guys behind us, it is their job to encourage grassroots sports day in and out, but it is a very important day today. >> the legacy is a key to the olympics. we are keen to make sure that we had a legacy going forward to encourage kids to participate in sports in a young -- at a young age. we have gotten the athletes going out to schools and talking to kids about their experiences. >> counselor thomas, thank you very much. the kickoff
