As the 10th anniversary of the London 2012 games is marked, what legacy did the event leave?
The velodrome, meanwhile, will host the track cycling at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
Lord Coe, who chaired the organising committee, believes that without the Games the current situation could be even graver. "That's made a big difference, and one of the profoundest legacies has been the way people have reviewed their thinking around disability." According to a recent National Audit Office report, the proportion of adults participating in sport actually declined in the three years following the Games.
The Youth Sport Trust is part of a new coalition including the Sport for Development Coalition, Sport and Recreation Alliance and leisure industry umbrella group UKActive, which this month called for "radical change" in the sector. The government has said it is preparing to unveil a new sports strategy.
