Don't know why you would think that. Atlanta, Sydney, and Athens all
built WW courses after they got the bid. I don't remember when the
Barcelona course was built.

As for near London, the Ocoee course is about 2.5 hours from Atlanta,
in another state. Yachting was 4 hours away in Savannah.

There is already a WW course in Nottingham that could be used. It has
hosted international competitions--World Cup, etc--many times.
Nottingham is maybe 150 miles from London.

I'm looking forward to finding out. I would of thought that in order to
get the bid that the location of whitewater event would have been in
place. I know that the new whitewater park in Maryland was suppose to
help new york get the bid. What is currently available in England for
slalom races ,etc ?
