Locog - the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games - is being a bit coy about confirming the story that Cadburys are to become another of its tier-two sponsors.

Sorry, no puns here about sweeteners or flake-y deals, but in this current cascade of bad news about cash and confidence, it is good to know that Locog isn't running short of either.

At the end of August, as the Olympic extravaganza in Beijing drew to a close, Lord Coe that London's Games in four years' time would inspire "fewer couch potatoes and more participants".

The 2012 chief said: "The real challenge for our governing bodies, and for sport more broadly, is how many people can you get into the sport off the back of that great moment?"

As long as the rowers and sailors keep producing these great moments, mighty pins and his lead to more velodrome glory and Becky Adlington remembers to before jumping in the pool, then Coe's dreams could and should be reality.
