2012 Olympics and Paralympics
Bedford Modern School has been selected as an official training site for the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The school has facilities for Table Tennis teams training for the event, and complements other training sites in the Bedford area. The Maldives National Olympic Committee will base its competing athletes in Bedford, while Paralympic athletes from Angola, the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, The Gambia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Jamaica, Lesotho, Morocco, Niger, Pakistan, Senegal, Tunisia and Uganda will also be based in the area. With the exception of Weymouth (which will host various sailing events) Bedford will accommodate more Olympic teams in 2012 than any other town or borough in the UK.
