There was no shortage of thanks from the stars of the games for the volunteers that helped organise the events and you could tell that they were genuinely appreciative of them and the efforts they put in. Not only the Olympians\u00a0but others also were massive fans of the way the nation had volunteered. For example, the Prime Minister at the time, David Cameron stated: \u201cTo see tens of thousands of people giving up their time to support London 2012 has been truly inspiring.\u201d Others such as Tom Daley and\u00a0Sir Chris Hoy have said the sheer number of people that came to the event made it what it was.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the<em><strong> 2018 Wo<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>rld C<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>up<\/strong><\/em> in Russia was also heavily successful not only because of the stars of the show\u00a0but the number of people who were willing to give up their time to make sure the tournament ran smoothly. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2060 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/russia-wc-2018-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/russia-wc-2018-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/russia-wc-2018.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>There were an estimated 17,000 volunteers at the tournament with roles such as car park marshall and media assistant. &#8220;The volunteers&#8217; faces are the first thing the fans see when they arrive,&#8221; said FIFA President Gianni Infantino, hailing the significance of the Volunteer Programme. &#8220;Their smiles are what visitors pick up on&#8221;. Statements like this from such powerful people really give significance to volunteering and makes everyone aware of just how important they are.<\/p>\n<p>A further event that was made successful by the volunteers of the sport was the <em><strong>2015 Rugby World Cup<\/strong><\/em>. The tournament had a total of around 6,000 volunteers with roles that varied from meeting and greeting to transport. The Rugby World Cup staff members collectively called their volunteers &#8216;The Pack&#8217; this was presumably to make them feel as though they were more a part of the games and also important.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2059 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Pack-in-Unison-Over-4000-of-The-Pack-unite-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-Rugby-World-Cup-2015-1024x538-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"391\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Pack-in-Unison-Over-4000-of-The-Pack-unite-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-Rugby-World-Cup-2015-1024x538-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Pack-in-Unison-Over-4000-of-The-Pack-unite-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-Rugby-World-Cup-2015-1024x538-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Pack-in-Unison-Over-4000-of-The-Pack-unite-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-Rugby-World-Cup-2015-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-Pack-in-Unison-Over-4000-of-The-Pack-unite-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-Rugby-World-Cup-2015-1024x538-900x473.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As shown by the prestigiousness of the events above volunteers and volunteering\u00a0are both vital parts of what makes these occasions successful and enjoyable to watch.
