The worst case scenario is more subtle and yet more devastating.
The opening ceremony being so hugely embarassing that as a nation we all decide we can never show our faces again, and mass hari-kiri follows.

It would be timed to explode during the opening ceremony, say three days later, by which time I would be safely in Outer Mongolia.
Probably nobody would be killed, which is good naturally, but tons of mud (if some estimates are to be believed) would literally rain on the parade like something out of an Ealing comedy.
In the long run I'd actually be doing a public service by removing a hazardous wreck from the Thames, _and_ providing an amusing diversion for those of us not normally interested in sport.
Just asking, like?

If you ain't there, it won't happen to you.
Sage advice indeed.

Maybe that's the case or maybe it isn't.
