London 2012 Team Leaders' Guide Athletics

Welcome
On behalf of LOCOG, I’m delighted to introduce this Team
Leaders’ Guide for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. I
would like to thank everyone from the IPC, NPCs and all our
stakeholders and partners for their support and advice in
working with us to ensure that everything is in place for the
teams and the athletes at Games time.
We aim to provide the optimum conditions across all of our competition venues,
ensuring athletes are able to perform at their peak on the world’s biggest sporting
stage. Our training venues are equipped with a full range of sporting and support
services that will allow athletes to prepare properly for their competition. Our
three Paralympic Villages and additional accommodation provide a secure,
comfortable base and a unique sense of community. And all of our venues are
connected by a comprehensive and reliable transport service.
This guide contains important information on a number of subjects:
– Key dates and personnel, including contact details.
– Information on the competition format and rules.
– Guidance on all procedures relating to competition and training.
– Details of all venue facilities and services, including transport information
and maps.
– Summary information on subjects that affect all sports, such as accreditation,
security and medical services.
We hope that this guide helps you in your preparations and your activities at
Games time. However, if you need any further information, please do not hesitate
to contact a member of the competition management team.
London 2012 promises to deliver an exciting and memorable summer of worldclass
competition. I’m delighted to welcome you to it.
Best regards,
Debbie Jevans
