A Sporting Chance

Abstract

Members of the London Olympic Games Organising Committee could be for the high jump if it fails to deliver on its promise to provide a sustainable sporting legacy after London 2012. However, studies have tended to disprove the claim that hosting the Games inspires populations to put their fitness first. With this in mind, JRSH's Mandy Murphy visits Olympic initiatives in two of the host boroughs to find out if enough is being done to spur the youth of the East End into action.
