London 2012 - Sebastian Coe highlights 2012 opportunities for the West Midlands
12 December 2006
Sebastian Coe's visit to the West Midlands yesterday got off to an energetic start when he joined in a demonstration of expert rope skipping at Sport England’s West Midlands conference.
After addressing the conference, Coe visited the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford, with a Blind Football skills demonstration by members of the England Blind Football squad.
Later he took part in a Young People's 2012 Question Time panel, answering questions from local teenagers and listening to what they hope the Games will achieve.
Coe said: "We have always said that London 2012 is a UK Games and conducting a question time with young people of Herefordshire and Worcestershire was a great chance to hear about the issues that interest and concern them."
