London 2012 Olympics

This week we have photos of different venues from the webcams around the Olympic Park.

Work is fast progressing on the London 2012 Velodrome and its roof, a venue we can all keep our eyes on thanks to the Olympic Park's webcams. It is on track to be the first venue to be completed on the Park.

This week we've been celebrating two years to go until the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games. See what's been happening...

Workers on the Olympic Park celebrated two years to go by creating a giant two beside the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre to mark the special day!

The Basketball Arena's cladding (the outer covering) is now complete, with the temporary venue definitely adds something special to London's skyline. Have a look at the webcam and see how this venue is shaping up!

Construction progress on the Basketball Arena has moved at such a fast pace it's hard to keep up! Have a look at the Olympic Park's webcams to see how far things have come along across all the venues. 

This has been a busy week for London 2012. Let's see what has been happening...

Work has now been completed at Eton Dorney, the London 2012 venue for Rowing and Canoe Sprint. This image shows the new bridge at the finish line of the lake.

A huge amount of construction progress has been made on the Olympic Village. Why not take a quick peek and see it for yourself on the London 2012 webcams!

Performers from the Heathrow Gymnastics Club create the shape of an Olympic Cauldron and Flame on the roof of central London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.

This week Jonathan Edwards paid a visit to Eldon Primary School in Edmonton, north London, to launch the new Inspire programme 'Let's get cooking around the world'. The kids had great fun making mango and banana smoothies and all the hard work certainly paid off as they look delicious!

This week has been a busy week for London 2012, as you can see...

Construction continues on the facility building and the finishing pool at the Lee Valley White Water Centre (formerly known as Broxbourne). The pool will be filled with water this summer - definitely heating things up before the Games!

This week Ed Clancy, world champion and gold medal-winning Team GB cyclist, gave us the thumbs up when he visited the Velodrome and saw that the double-curved roof had been lifted into place. This photo shows Ed in the centre of the Velodrome.

This week has been a busy week for London 2012. See what's been happening:

All of the Olympic Stadium's 14 lighting tower have been lifted into place, meaning the venue has reached its full height. I had the chance to see the Olympic Stadium recently and it already has an amazing atmosphere. Imagine how impressive it will be in 2012.

This week I spotted this great photo on the webcams which shows the Velodrome at night. Lit up, you can almost imagine what the atmosphere will be like during the London 2012 Games.

This week London 2012 welcomed Archbishop Desmond Tutu to the Olympic Park. He made us laugh and feel inspired, but most of all he made us feel proud about how multicultural London is and how this will help us host the best Games ever! See more photos of Desmond Tutu visiting.

This week here at London 2012 we have been celebrating the completion of the steel structure of the Velodrome.

The steel outer ring looks a bit like a rollercoaster, don't you think?

During the Games the Velodrome will host Olympic and Paralympic Track Cycling events.

Eton Dorney, the venue for Rowing events during the Games, gets brightened up with a new bridge which has now been lifted into place. 

John Armitt, Chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), travelled to Wales this week to visit some of the firms that have won contracts to work on the 2012 Games, including a firm that produced decking boards for the new Sailing facilities at Weymouth and Portland.

This week here at London 2012 we welcomed 40 (cheeky) new members of the Construction Crew to the Olympic Park, where they had a session on employment and skills within construction. Hopefully it encouraged them to open their eyes to  jobs within the industry, which, by the looks of things, made their day - and, of course, ours too!

Here is one of the nicest views of the Olympic Park. The photo, which was taken earlier this week, shows the Olympic Stadium at dawn.
