Lord Coe reckons Olympics will make Wrexham fitter
Lord Sebastian Coe paid a flying visit to North Wales yesterday, including stopping off in Wrexham, to hear the county's plans for preparing three pre-games training camps - Wrexham's Racecourse, NEWI Sports Centre and Queensway Stadium - in time for the 2012 games.
I saw an interview with him on Wales Today in which he said organisers were finding sports memberships where increasing as a result of advance publicity from the games - the same as you see more kids playing tennis around Wimbledon time - and so he reckoned we'd all become a fitter bunch.
Wrexham Council's website explains more about yesterday's visit and the Daily Post highlighted concerns that only three of 600 contracts for the Olympics so far have been handed to Wales with none in North Wales.
