London (CNN) -- Legendary track star and chairman of the London Organizing Committee Sebastian Coe congratulated his fellow Britons for a "glorious" Olympic Games on Sunday night. "When our time came, Britain, we did it right," Coe told the 80,000 gathered at Olympic Stadium for the closing ceremony. Coe said these "two glorious weeks" would "inspire a generation." International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared the London Games officially over. He echoed Coe's sentiments. "These were happy and glorious Games," he said. "The legacy of the Games of the 30th Olympiad will become clear in many ways. Concrete improvements in infrastructure will benefit the host nation for years to come. The human legacy will reach every region of the world. Many young people will be inspired to take up a sport or to pursue their dreams."
