Slovenia signs with Kent

Slovenia became the latest Olympic nation to sign up to train in Kent, as their Gymnastics Federation signed an agreement which will see around 25 to 30 gymnasts visit Kent in 2011 and 2012 to train and create links with local communities and residents.

Pegasus Gymnastics Club in Maidstone will host the athletes and provide the world class facilities needed to prepare for the 2012 Games.

Seb Coe, Chair of the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: "This is great news for Kent. The excellent sporting facilities in Maidstone and Kent will help the Slovenian team train and prepare well for the London Games. It will also lead to a strong relationship between Kent and Slovenia and the development of sporting and cultural ties. 

Kent has already signed agreements with other Olympic nations, including Ukraine and Belarus which signed Judo agreements last year to train in Kent leading up to the 2012 Games.
