Members of the United States Olympic Committee visited London to find out about the latest progress and plans for the 2012 Games. They also visited the first completed venue for the Games, Weymouth and Portland, which will host Sailing.
The visit was organised by LOCOG's National Olympic Committe and National Paralympic Committee Relations team.
Leslie Gamez, Managing Director of International Games at USOC (pictured above, second from left), said: 'We are excited to see the activity and development that is occuring at the Olympic Park. The Olympic Village plan looks great and the close proximity to a large number of competition venues will make it extremely convenient for our athletes and coaches.
'They are going to love competing in the historic venues like Wembley and Wimbledon and for those who will have the opportunity to compete in the newer venues like BMX or Aquatics they will get to experience the new and modern London.
'From being in and around London and Weymouth and Portland, looking at venues and speaking with locals, we sense the their excitement about the coming Olympic and Paralympic Games.
'With less than four years until the Games, we are pleased to see the progress being made on all fronts - from the Organising Committee to the venues to the public works. We have a sense that these Games will be spectacular.'
