Paris and London face wait for Olympic decision

Organisers of the London and Paris bids face an agonising hour-long wait before the decision on who will host the 2012 Olympics is officially announced by IOC president Jacques Rogge.

After four rounds of voting, he told the delegates that a final decision had been reached and would announced on schedule from 12.30pm Itrish time.

The whole voting process took less than half an hour.
