(ATR) London 2012 organizers have disclosed details for the London Olympic Institute, one of the legacies from the 2012 Olympics promised in the bid book. The institute is to focus on the vision of modern Olympic founder Pierre De Coubertin.
The institute would initially have three sections, a new Institute of Sport, a Sport and Exercise Medicine Center and an Olympic Research Center.
