Frances Jenkins, Swansea Council’s Strategic Manager for Tourism, Marketing and Events, said, “The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event in the world and the big screen will provide everyone with the opportunity to enjoy all the action live in Castle Square.
“And with the screen broadcasting such a wide range of different sports including basketball we hope that as many people as possible are encouraged to Be Part of It! and enjoy the benefits of sport and exercise and join such clubs as the city’s very own Swansea Storm.
“It is also great to see that the Live Site will be showing coverage of Team GB Men’s football team which includes three players from Swansea City, more than any other team, testament to the success of the Swans in their first season in the Premier League.”
