Sixteen members of the IOC Coordination Commission, led by Denis Oswald, toured the main Olympic sites, where construction on the five main venues begins next year.
LOCOG chairman, Lord Coe, said that the day’s presentations, “focussed on how we will take our vision and turn it into a sustainable reality…delivering lasting benefits for future generations long after the final race has been run."
Mayor Ken Livingstone also delivered his assessment at the start of the inspection visit and predicted that London 2012 will be "the most successful Olympic Games since Barcelona 1992 in terms of regeneration and legacy".
The Olympic park in Stratford, east London, and regeneration of the surrounding area will bring 40,000 new homes and 50,000 new jobs to the area, one of the poorest in Britain.
The first day of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) three-day inspection visit to London 2012 took in the Olympic Park site in east London and tested a new cross-City rail link.
