LOCOG, London 2012 Organising Committee made announcement regarding comprehensive sports testing programme and will be the part of preparations for the upcoming games. The testing programme of LOCOG will feature testing the field for play, results, scoring and timing systems along with major operational procedures and functions.
The programme mainly comprised of three different types of events. They are International Invitational Events, International Federations Events and International events organized by sports national governing bodies and various other organizations.
Chair of LOCOG, Seb Coe said, “Our approach to operational delivery is similar to that of an athlete. You do not want to face any conditions at competition time that you have not prepared for. When the world’s greatest Olympic and Paralympic athletes come to London in the summer of 2012, every aspect of our delivery needs to be the best it can be.”
He also said, “The invaluable experience we gain through our testing programme means we can 'road-test' all our operational plans and make sure we have all the knowledge we need to deliver a truly memorable Games in 2012.”

Olympic Track Cycling Champion Victoria Plans to Retire Post 2012 London Olympics
While addressing Telegraph Sport, 30 year old Victoria Pendleton, the multiple world and Olympic track cycling champion stated that she may take retirement in the coming year. She also said, ‘be surprised if [she] was able to continue beyond’, i.e. after 2012 London Olympic Games.
During the launch of Cycletta, the brand new cycling initiative of women, Pendleton said that after Olympic games, her career may come to end. She further added, “I've been racing from a hobby level to an elite level from when I was nine [years-old]. It's been a long career and physically I know that I'm getting more and more injuries. It's a warning sign that there's not that much more to come.”
When some renowned sports channel asked Pendleton that this would be her last major competition, she replied, “I think so. I'd be very surprised if physically I was able to continue beyond that point.” She also admitted that she never found any motivation after Beijing Olympic Games.
She stated, “I feel that I am, perhaps, lacking the hunger that I felt approaching the [2008] Olympics.” Pendleton also added, “Aiming towards something that you have never achieved before, something that feels so out of your reach, is very different from retaining it, or attempting to retain it. I know that from winning the world titles. The first one [world title] for me was the most enjoyable and then stepping up with the rainbow stripes [the world champion's jersey] brings a lot of pressure and expectation. It's going to be really tough going into the Olympics and having that expectation as reigning Olympic champion.”
During the Track World cup meeting, Pendleton was the winner of two bronze medals in Manchester.
