WWW.SPORTSBITE.COM
THIS relaunched site from Sir Steve Redgrave aims to become your one-stop-shop for British Olympic news. As the UK looks towards the London Olympics in 2012, the site will feature regular reports on each of the summer and winter Olympic and Paralympic disciplines. While the design is far from outstanding, there is plenty of content, which is neatly divided into News, Features and Categories. Categories include the various sports such as Archery, Basketball, Cycling, Fencing, Ice Hockey and Wrestling to name but a few of the many sports listed. This site will fill you in on news that may not get the coverage they deserve in newspapers as sports such a football fill their pages. There's also comment from Steve Redgrave and photos of various events he attends, as well as upcoming charity drives. Understandably the content of this site is not currently overflowing but it's worth bookmarking for future reference as the Olympics approach.
