Scale of the 2012 Games
· 26 Olympic sports in 34 venues
· 20 Paralympic sports in 21 venues
· 10,500 Olympic athletes and 4,200 Paralympic athletes
In the summer of 2012, the UK will come alive with the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The four-year Cultural Olympiad will reach a climax with the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on 27 July.
It starts a 60-day festival of sport and culture across the UK – the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
For the first time, these two events have been planned together from the very beginning. By thinking about the needs of both Olympic and Paralympic athletes and spectators at each point in our plans, we can create the best possible Games experience for everyone.
Essex Orthopaedics has been supporting athletes from all types of sport for a number of years, but with the UK hosting the 2012 Olympics we are determined to support our athletes in their quest for gold.
