Does any one know about the stadium being built in Beijing. Does any one care? Would be nice to see what type of courses can be built now and what is possible for 2012.

From The London 2012 Site
"The white-water Canoe/Kayak events in London 2012 will be held in Broxbourne, which is situated on the River Lea in Hertfordshire. The Lower Lea Valley is the site of London's Olympic Park, and the river will physically link the two venues." |

(but somewhere with better water quality than HPP will b nice). the nene is under the most threat i think cos they have just slashed the opening hours again. according to their website its now only open Tuesday - 6pm to 9pm Saturday - 09:00 - 12:00 (which isn't worth making the trip for) Sunday - 13:30 to 18:00 |
