All the action from the official handover by the Olympic Delivery Authority of the Lee Valley White Water Centre, the venue for the Olympic Canoe Slalom competition in 2012.
HRH Princes Anne The Princes Royal opened the course & the event was hosted by Lord Coe, Chairman of the ODA. Top paddlers from GB Canoeing took part, making runs down the course for the attending media which included BBC News, CNN & many others.
This venue is the first purpose built facility to be completed for the London Games & GB Canoeing's Canoe Slalom squad will start formal training from their new Olympic home in January 2011. The venue will be open to the public for white water rafting in Spring 2011.
