London 2012’s Canoe Slalom invitational test event – Lee Valley
The London Prepares series is the official London 2012 sports testing programme. The closed international test event for canoe slalom took place at Lee Valley White Water Centre from 28 – 31 July 2011.
The Canoe Slalom test event is vital for testing different aspects of the competition ahead of next year’s Games, including the course, timing technology, scoring and workforce. This is the first time the course has been used for an international competition, so it really will be put through its Olympic paces. Any learning from the event will be built upon to ensure we run the best event possible next summer.

Did you know that Mikado the game originated in Hungary and brought to the USA in 1936? Amazing what Wikipedia knows on this topic…

Dance performance enriches
Interesting and beautiful how experiencing cultural events can stir things.
Spectators, very much part of the experience at the dance performance by KAT in Strijp-S Eindhoven, left notes on the wall for everyone to read. One of the notes reads: You also see all these emotions when watching a night of television but then you are empty. Here you leave richer.
