Wembley Arena to host part of London 2012 Olympics
LONDON 2012 organisers have finally reached an agreement for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics to be staged at Wembley Arena after months of negotiations.
Both sports had initially resisted the change to the original plan to base them in north Greenwich because of the increased travelling times from the Olympic Village.
But London 2012 have won round the Badminton World Federation and International Gymnastics Federation by making a number of commitments regarding travel.
