University welcomes Olympic bid success

06 July 2005

 

Sport & Exercise staff at the University of 海角直播 have welcomed London鈥檚 successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. Martin Pout, Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise said: 鈥淭his fantastic news will not only have a huge impact for London but the country as a whole. The announcement is just the starting gun for the organisers, coaches, athletes and sport scientists that will be part of the historic games. The University of 海角直播 is more than geared up to be part of the games, with its 拢6.5 million Olympia building which includes a state-of the-art environmental chamber.鈥�

Martin added: 鈥淭he University is already at the forefront of providing sport science support to elite athletes in partnership with agencies such as the English Institute for Sport. I also anticipate a massive increase in the number of sport scientists, coaches and sport workers over the next few years as Olympic fever and preparation for the games increases. I am also sure that the University of 海角直播鈥檚 Sport and Exercise graduates will have a large part to play in the preparation and build up to the games. Recent Olympic hosts have seen a dramatic increase in employment in the sport area and I am sure we will see the same in this country.鈥�
