Greg Mulholland, chair of Save The Pub group is frothing mad about the official Olympic beer being from Belgium!

"Beer is the UK's national drink and the country has a strong and ancient tradition of brewing; by choosing a mass produced bland foreign lager, the committee has ignored all the wonderful, traditional beers that the UK has to offer and instead gone for the company with the biggest cheque book.

"The Olympic Games is a prime opportunity for Britain to showcase the best of British, including the opportunity to promote its traditional beers and its thriving brewing industry. By opting for Heineken as the official beer, the opportunity has been lost. The decision is completely at odds with the strong positive British identity of the bid and the forthcoming London 2012 Olympics."

In a show of solidarity, you really need to get to the Brit in Aptos and drink a few pints of good British beer.. Just to help the cause of course!

When events get under way at the London 2012 Games' main stadium, most people following the drama on the track might not be aware they are also seeing a cutting-edge piece of technology.

The track was designed and laid by Mondo, an Italian company that has provided all the tracks at the main Olympic stadiums since the 1992 Games in Barcelona.

Unlike other track designs that combine traction and shock-absorption in an upper layer of rubber granules, the Mondo track separates these functions, with a cushion backing for shock absorption and a solid upper layer that optimises slip resistance, traction and durability.

This design cuts the need for the spikes on athletes' running shoes to pe*****te the running surface. Shoes used on tracks fitted by the Italian firm are considerably shorter and non-penetrating.

This means, the designers say, that less time and energy is lost going into the track and retracting the spikes afterwards.

Both the layers in the track are made of rubber, explains Joe Hoekstra, Mondo´s project manager for London 2012.

"The two layers are vulcanized, a process which cross links the molecular structure of the different materials and makes the surface more uniform, stronger and elastic," he tells the BBC.
