Mollie's mum and dad, Sam and Steve, signed her up and now she will have a role in the official celebrations of the Games in 2012, when she is seven.
She will take part either in the opening, closing or team welcome ceremonies or one of the other events across the capital.

re all given a balloon and a big piece of cake to take home to share with family and friends.
