The Olympic Stadium

Posted on by Ian C.

Today, our last day in London and at Olympic events, took us to the athletics stadium at Olympic Park. Once again, exceptionally good transport and security, and a spectacular location – though it can be hard to see the different athletics events around the stadium; we had good views of women’s pole vault and steeplechase, less good views of women’s heptathlon long jump and javelin, and men’s 100m heats (which did include Usain Bolt):

MINIs at the Olympics

Posted on by Ian C.

Our trip to the Olympic Park in London today included a visit to the BMW Pavilion, which had MINI present too. Inside, along with the BMW i8 and i3 was the MINI Rcoketman Concept:

Meanwhile in the Olympic Stadium, smaller MINIs helped Return javelins …

Amusing, but hardly more efficient than just carrying them back!
