West Ham win first leg of Olympic race

The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) announced that West Ham have beaten Tottenham in the race to take over the stadium at a news conference in Westminster.

The choice of West Ham will see the athletics track retained inside a 60,000-capacity stadium in Stratford, east London.

The decision has to be ratified by the Government and London mayor Boris Johnson but it would be a huge surprise if they did not rubber-stamp the recommendation.
