Welcome to The Games and Beyond
Basketball has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1891, when the sport began with peach baskets nailed to a gymnasium wall but the London 2012 action in the new Basketball Arena will be a thoroughly modern affair.
The Games and Beyond will ensure your knowledge is on target ahead of the world’s biggest sporting festival – find out more about each sport, meet Team GB medal hopefuls and discover who is likely to be fighting it out for podium places.
And if this inspires you to get involved, you can also find out more about how to start playing every single Olympic sport – no matter what your age, experience, or ability.
