THE OLYMPIC 2012 START TODAY : THE MASCOT

The 2012 Olympic mascot Wenlock (L) and Paralympic mascot Mandeville pose for photographers in the playground at St. Paul's primary school in London in a May 19, 2010 file photo. A medieval town in rural England is revelling in the Olympics as a long-forgotten story about how this remote community inspired the modern Games finally receives global recognition -- and could possibly put Much Wenlock on the tourist map. Although Athens is usually cited as the birthplace of the modern Games, that honour lies with Much Wenlock, a picture perfect 700-year-old English town in the county of Shropshire that boasts winding streets, traditional white-and-black timber beamed houses, limestone cottages, and even an Abbey ruin.
