London 2012 Olympic Games velodrome, track

The track in the 2012 Olympic Games velodrome in London has been completed, with 90 per cent of the work now finished on the velodrome structure - the first of the Olympic venues scheduled for completion in early 2011.

International Olympic Committee co-ordination commission chairman Denis Oswald visited the velodrome on Thursday to see how the venue is progressing and appeared pleased with what he saw. Oswald was accompanied by Sebastian Coe of the London 2012 organising committee and two local riders.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
