Velodrome (model) Located in the north of the Olympic Park, the Velodrome is one of the most sustainable and iconic venues of the London 2012 Games. Sustainable choices have been made wherever possible; from the sourcing of wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council used on the track and external cladding, to the installation of a 100% naturally ventilated system that eliminates the need for air conditioning.

a BMX track (as it looks now) The brand new BMX Track is located next to the Velodrome in the north of the Olympic Park. The men’s track is 450m long and the women’s is 440m long. The entire venue covers a total area of 160m by 90m, slightly larger than the size of a football pitch.

The Olympic Torch The triangular-shaped torch represents: The three Olympic values (respect, excellence and friendship); The Olympic Motto (faster, higher, stronger); Olympic Games hosted by United Kingdom (1908, 1948 and 2012); The vision of 2012 Summer Olympics (sport, education and culture).
