The world’s premier summer athletes are in the final stages of preparation and qualification to participate in the XXX Olympiad in London, England from July 27 through August 12. London will be the first-ever three-time host of the Summer Games.
Final preparations continue throughout the city, with the Athlete’s Village the latest venue to be completed. The London Games Organizing Committee has not only led the creation of a tremendous opportunity for the athletes to gather and compete, but also a major revitalization of East London that should benefit the city and country for years to come.
