Games-time training venues
Athletes will also continue to train in London during the Games. To facilitate this, the London Organising Committee has announced a network of Games-time training venues. These venues will be used by athletes from all nations to help them train and make final preparations immediately prior to and during the 2012 Games.
Athletes will use the sport-specific facilities from mid-July 2012 when they move into the Athletes' Village. These venues are all no more than 30 minutes' drive from the Village and offer medical facilities, changing rooms and catering services.
A number of venues have now signed agreements (listed below). In the next year many of these venues will also be undergoing capital works in order to be fully ready to host world class sports events. This activity is funded by the Olympic Delivery Authority and the Mayor’s PlaySport London Facility Fund.
