Visit the German Sports University next door to the football stadium and see how London 2012 ought to aspire with its planned Olympic Institute. This university was established in Cologne in 1947, mainly by Jack Dixon's energies. Jack was a British Army officer charged with German educational restoration after the second world war.

There's also an excellent Sport and Olympia Museum on the banks of the Rhine - again, a model for London 2012.

Cologne is the ex-capital of West Germany with capital-like facilities but is now quieter and more restful than the revived Berlin!
