Meet James Bulley. He is the man responsible for making sure there is a contingency plan for everything that could possibly go wrong during the 2012 Games.It is now a week into the Beijing Olympics and all eyes will soon be on the next host, so Bulley is bracing himself. Over the next four years, the infrastructure director of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) must deliver what is known as overlay for all the existing venues. This means installing all the non-permanent structures, from seating and athletes' warm-up areas to food halls. In case that doesn't keep him busy enough, there's the task of imagining every problem that could occur over the 45 days that London hosts the world - and making sure they can be resolved. No pressure, then.
