In the second part of D J Clark’s series from England he travels north to Leeds where he looks at the preparations for the Chinese pre Olympic training camp. Here he discovers, contrary to much discussion on the Chinese micro blogs, that the athletes will not be based in Leeds for the actual games but rather use the facilities to help them recuperate from their journey to the UK.
