The trick is getting those links in the first place, because it's not like they're just giving them away like candy! However, since it's not that easy to get those monster links, practicing good linking strategies with normal smaller sites will certainly put you on a path towards success…it'll just take a little longer to get those rankings. :) Definitely getting some serious link juice from big sites is much more beneficial than a bunch of small links.

I'd probably link to the <a href="http://www.london2012.com/" rel="nofollow">homepage</a> rather than wikipedia when referencing the games.

I suspect it is largely to do with the inbound links (nearly 90k)to the actual <a href="http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.london2012.com&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=u" rel="nofollow">site</a>, including <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain:www.london2012.com%20%2Bsite:.edu%20-site:.com%20-site:www.london2012.com" rel="nofollow">15 edus</a> Hmmm….
