We are finally in 2012 the year of the London Olympics and we could not be more excited! We were thrilled to hear the latest news that this week and next, Londoners will be able to get a taste of the action early.

This summer The O2 will host the Olympic artistic gymnastics, trampoline, basketball and wheelchair basketball, and this weekend and next there will be a Gymnastics test event held (until 18 January). Guests will be given the chance to see the venue in action and whet their appetites for the upcoming games. Set to be an amazing site, the test event is also the final chance for hopeful gymnasts to qualify for places on their respected Olympic teams with The Visa International Gymnastics competition.
