Hi, I would like to run this game, but I would prefer to do individual runs so you have the full game runs and then single events, for example, the 100-meter leaderboard. You just run that game, you get 9.80 in-game, and you put that down as your record. I think this would be a cool addition and might make people run this game more. Just a suggestion!
A few years back they had a global leaderboard online when you played the game. Wish I took the screenshot at some point of the top times. Sadly all of that is gone to my knowledge (on the PC steam version not sure on the console versions). So we could add individual events but wouldnt really be a record in anyway. Might be neat to start a new one though and like you said maybe get some more people runners. Still think all gold medals is a really good category though and its under 45 mins to run.
Actually remembered Zerkaa and the sidemen use to do london 2012 all the time on youtube. He has a few videos when he pulled up the global leaderboards actually. Here is one I found when he pulled up the 100M leaderboards. 
I will say I would support adding the individual leaderboards just to get more activity. Plus since the old leaderboards on the game no longer exist to my knowledge (the steam ones anyway no idea on xbox 360).
I think the bigger issue for activity in the game is it is very hard to find anymore. The PC version if you dont own it already you are having to purchase old steam keys from people who might have it. Either that by the old school xbox 360 disc and play it on xbox haha.
I likely will but wanted to do a bit of research first and see if it existed still at all. I do have a xbox 360 and the game for xbox 360 so was going to try to get it online and see what happens. Pretty sure the steam ones probably exist in some databse but are hidden by steam since the game isnt avaliable.
Well I am not sure about adding individual event. If you have access to the steam version (you can buy keys for it if you dont own it already but people sell them for $100-200 lol) or if you have access to the xbox 360 version you can pull up the online leaderboards for individual events. I have the PC version not the steam version and when I try to pull up leaderboards or anything it doesnt work.
They do appear to have seperate leaderboards for xbox 360 and steam also. The 360 version had really slow load times and lots of lag haha. The best 100M for the 360 was 9.29. Maybe the PC version leaderboard isnt working since steam came in later and was selling london 2012 for awhile.
I would really love to have individual events, most of the official leaderboard records are not even legal
Well with more people showing interest in it, it is something I can consider adding for sure. Might run into some of the same issues though with verification. Maybe I can require something like input display required so its easier to tell if its a bot or not. I already generally know what is possible, but some people are obviously just better than me, espically if you break it down into individual events.
Hi guys ! I want to join in, that's exactly what I was searching for. I would like to run the game for the all gold medals, but I was searching for individual leaderboards and it doesn't exist. Since the online servers are down, there is no leaderboard available. Moreover, with specifics rules like chillmagic420 said, it could prevent bots (more than the official leaderboards). Maybe adding decent quality hand cam with input display too, because now even with softwares we can easily imitate a human.
In France the game is in a trend, I think it could motivate a lot of players.
With the Olympics and now sidemen playing I see a few people asking me for individual events. I would just like to state a few of the issues with level events.
The first issue that maybe a lot of people dont know is almost all the events have a set best time. Like you just cant go any faster, jump or throw any further than a pre-programmed limit. The reason I know this is what leads into issue number two.
The second issue is Steam version of the game still has a working online leaderboard that still updates. Yes they have a few cheated faster times, but once you scroll down a bit you will see 100 players or so all tied then at the best achieveable time.
So even if we started our own individual levels event leaderboards here I still dont really see the point. You wont be setting the best time ever, you will at best just be getting in a tie with a time on a different leaderboard.
That is also why when the London 2012 game was added here on speedrun that it was decided just to do all gold medals runs. That has some RNG and variations in events that you have to complete in order. So you cant just reset one event over and over to get the best time possible. So this leads to varation in times making it more fun.
