Olympic Games Training Facilities

July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Rubicon Sports, the European representatives for Power Lift, the world’s top provider of racks and platforms for performance facilities, is already getting into the Olympic spirit by making sure the Olympic athletes get to enjoy training facilities that are up to the standards expected by the world’s top athletes.

As company MD David Shaw explains:

“Everyone’s looking forward to the Olympics and it certainly looks set to be one of the most exciting things to happen to London in a long time. But as a veteran of the performance training equipment industry who’s supplied equipment to some of the best gyms outside the US, I’ve been somewhat dismayed by the choice of equipment in the Athletic Village and the holding camps.

“We’ve got the very best athletes in the world arriving in London and they ought to be able to train on what they have been used to training on. Jochem Schellens, the Manager of the Netherlands Olympic Team decided that the equipment in the Athletics Village was not what they wanted and asked Rubicon Sports to equip their new training facility on the roof of the Westfield Shopping Centre.

“The same equipment has also been installed at the University of East London – which hosts the US Olympic Team – and at UK Athletics Headquarters in the Lee Valley, just a stone’s throw from the stadium.”

Such is the level of interest in this project that the Dutch team will be hosting a press conference at this venue on Thursday 26th of July, the day before the Olympics starts.
