What locations are being considered to serve as pre-Games training camps for athletes for the 2012 Games?
UK facilities that have been selected as providing a suitable training environment are listed by location and sport will be listed in the LOCOG “Pre-Games Training Camp Guide”. Applications from interested, potential hosts can be made on the London 2012 website. Applications will initially be assessed locally with selection co-ordinated by each nation and region. A proposed list of facilities will then be submitted to LOCOG for final selection by 2008. This guide will be the primary means of informing National Olympic Committees (NOC) and National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) when choosing where to stage their pre-Games preparation camps for 2012. The guide will be distributed to NOCs anbd NPCs in July 2008. LOCOG have announced that financial contributions totalling some £9 million will be made available to encourage overseas Olympic and Paralympic teams to use pre-Games training camps in the UK to prepare for the London 2012 Games.
