As many of you will have heard in the media over the past week, tickets for what has been billed as the greatest sporting show on earth went on sale on 15 March 2011. There was an avalanche of interest and a ballot system will be put in place for the events that are oversubscribed. It is estimated that roughly 8.8 million tickets will go on sale and a further 2 million tickets will be available for the Paralympics.
I am delighted to confirm that Cranfield is making its own contribution to the Olympics and we have renewed our sponsorship of Olympic hopeful, Katrina Wootton. Following a difficult year of illness, Katrina is competing again and will shortly be heading off on a 4 week pre-summer training trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico for some altitude training.
To follow Katrina and get regular updates on her bid to fulfil her ambition of competing in the Olympics, read her monthly blog at www.katrinawootton.co.uk.
I hope that Katrina will get the opportunity to compete in the brand new Olympic Stadium which is located in Stratford. I have been following various press releases connected to the Olympic Village and it looks like the stadium is near to completion. Some of the interesting stadium facts are that the turf has come from Scunthorpe, it came in £10m under budget, took some 1,000 working days to complete and will have a capacity of 80,000 seats.
We at Cranfield wish Katrina every success and hope our ongoing support will play a part in helping her to fulfil her potential.
