IOC officials have returned to London to check on preparations for the 2012 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee's coordination commission will hold three days of meetings with organisers to check progress with less than two years to go before the Games. Officials will visit some of the venues under construction. It is the seventh visit by the IOC commission since London was awarded the Games in 2005.

Organisers have said 75 per cent of the construction is complete and the main venues are on track to be finished next year.
