London 2012
Equestrian Venue Praised |
British riders
recently visited the planned equestrian venue for the London 2012
Olympics and Paralympics at Greenwich Park in London. The riders, who
are all members of the World Class Programme funded by UK Sport, were
given a tour of the site and were pleased with the progress made.
Although there
has been some local objections to the venue regarding the possible
long term damage to the park, the London Olympic committee expects to
lodge a planning application for the site within the next few weeks.
The historic
location will ensure the equestrian events are held close to the main
Olympic Park venue. |
