Is there any truth in the rumour that Greenwich is being axed as a venue?
No, there has been no discussion of moving the equestrian element of the 2012 Games. The London Organising Committee made a full statement to that effect: “The story carried by the Evening Standard about Greenwich Park ‘facing the axe from the Olympics’ is incorrect. Greenwich Park will be the venue for the main equestrian events. Greenwich Park is an integral part of our plans and will be a high profile Olympic and Paralympic venue in 2012. “In the next few years, we will have discussions with all the sporting bodies about the best way to profile their sports in London in 2012. That is normal and an important part of our planning process.
