LONDON (AP) — International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge says the London Olympics are “really very good games.”

Rogge says a successful British team has been “very important” in lifting the mood of the home fans. Britain has 22 gold medals through early Wednesday, its best since London hosted the 1908 Games. Only China and the U.S. have more overall medals.

Rogge tells reporters: “All in all, I would say these are really very good games, and a I’m a very happy man.”

The IOC chief says he has attended 22 sports and will go to the four remaining on his list before the Olympics end Sunday.
