The electronic clock counting down the 500 days to the start of the 2012 London Olympics stopped yesterday in an embarrassing glitch less than a day after it was unveiled.The steel clock made by Omega in London's Trafalgar Square ground to a halt at 500 days, seven hours, six minutes and 56 seconds, then began counting the wrong way before a technician arrived to repair it.<br /><br />Omega said in a statement, "We are obviously very disappointed that the clock has suffered this technical issue. We are currently looking into why this happened and expect to have the clock functioning as normal as soon as possible."<br /><br />Four British Olympic champions unveiled the clock on Monday to mark the 500-day countdown to the opening ceremony.
