FINAL STANDINGS
Part
of the London Prepares Series, the tournament will assist the London 2012 Organising Committee to test procedures ahead of the London Games.
As
an Ambassador of Sport, Sira Concepts
was invited to the Riverbank Arena at the Olympic Park to watch the Tournament.
Overall eight teams participated in the Hockey Tournament that took place from
2nd – 6th May 2012. The event featured current world champions
including Australia and Germany (men’s), who are currently ranked the top two
in the world.
This
has to be the most beautiful Hockey pitch ever. The Riverbank Arena consists
of two artificial turf water-based pitches. The London Blue and London Pink
provide a great contrast and make it easier to spot the yellow ball making
these the first pitches that aren’t traditionally green. It has a maximum
capacity of 15,000 and 5,000 and will host both women’s and men’s Olympic
Hockey competitions this year. During the games it will also be used for
the Paralympics 5-a-side and 7-a-side Football.
The
Great Britain women’s team secured the gold medal, as did the men’s German team.
The atmosphere at the test event was phenomenal offering us a taster of what’s
to come…
