§ Mr. CabornThe English Institute of Sport (EIS) is a nationwide network of world class training facilities and support services.
The majority of the facilities for the EIS are now complete and are providing a top class training environment for our elite athletes. Most of the remaining sites will be ready for opening by the end of the year. The range of services supplied by the EIS, which spans sports science and sports medicine, is already being delivered directly to athletes and is being co-ordinated by the EIS regional managers.
These arrangements should ensure that the EIS network provides our top athletes with the support required to enhance their medal success at the Athens Olympics.
