London Anniversary Games, why?

Over the next three days London’s Olympic stadium will play host to the Anniversary Games, featuring many stars of the last Olympics, but the question I have is why it is happening at all.

Of all the Olympics I’ve watched I don’t remember everybody reconvening a year later, for a weekend to reminisce and put on a few events again.

These games will never replicate the drama and excitement of the real Olympics, nor will the events be anywhere near as competitive so I’m still really struggling to understand why they’re taking place, because to me it just sounds like a regular athletics grand prix with a fancy name.
