A Clare Balding-fronted BBC 2 programme called ‘Olympic Countdown’ will feature action from beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade, the London-Surrey Cycle Classic won by Mark Cavendish, basketball in the Olympic park and the Canoe Sprint Championships in Hungary.
The offering live information, video, news and community events. There are 20 scheduled in all, including in Bristol, Edinburgh and Swansea.
"A year ahead of the Games this is a great opportunity for friends and families to come together in their local community and see the best of the action from the Olympic test events," said Locog CEO Paul Deighton.
"It will be a great taste of the celebration of elite sport that will take place in the summer of 2012."
