Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky，changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals，and in around 200 cases the hottest of all，the men's 100m final．Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event，August 5．
