Roadshow arrives at London Youth Games

The event was one of the bus’s 27 stops as it tours the UK over the summer.

Visitors were given the chance to ‘join in’ with a variety of new sports including taekwondo, cricket and basketball with details of how to continue their new hobby at local clubs and facilities.

There was also the opportunity to join Matthew and Harry in The National Lottery Dream Stats Zone, trying out the Dream Stats calculator and matching their physical attributes and preferences to the sport best suited to them.

Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said: ‘Winning the race to host the 2012 Games has put sport in London and across the UK firmly on the agenda.

‘The arrival of the 2012 Roadshow at the London Youth Games along with initiatives like the London Summer of Sport are further demonstration of our determination to encourage sport particularly among younger people and deliver a real lasting sporting legacy from grassroots to amateur competition.

‘The Youth Games allows both athletes and spectators to learn about the opportunities open to them and how they can participate in the spirit of the 2012 Games.’
