By: Rubicon Sports The American Olympic team has come to an arrangement with the University of East London to completely re-equip their new sports centre and specialist strength and conditioning facility with Power Lift racks and platforms, in return for exclusive access during the games. Rubicon Sports – the European representatives for Power Lift – were only happy to help in making this facility right for the US Olympic Team. As company MD David Shaw explains: “Given Power Lift’s long association with the United States Olympic Committee during past winter and summer Olympics, we were delighted to hear that the American Olympic team were able to strike up a relationship with the University of East London so that they could continue training on the high-quality equipment they are used to during the games. “It’s natural that the world’s top athletes want to train with the best possible equipment. Indeed, other teams are already taking advantage of the excellent equipment available outside the Athletic Village, such as the Dutch team, who are training in a facility on top of the Westfield Shopping Centre, specially equipped for their needs with Power Lift equipment. We’ve also installed similar equipment at the UK Athletics Headquarters in Lee Valley, close to the Olympic Stadium. “Although the Olympics will be a fantastic event for London, it is a disappointment that the weight training equipment in the facilities in the Athletic Village and some of the holding camps is not what the Olympic teams require. It is therefore very pleasing to get involved in helping just some of the teams get access to the equipment they want during the games.” For more information and photos of these sites visit www.rubiconsports.co.uk.
