  • Intro:


    Officials and athletes continue to arrive for the London Games.

    Script:

    Anyone keen to spot Olympic athletes, Heathrow airport is the place to be.

    Teams and officials from across the globe continued to arrive on Monday, what was billed as the busiest day of the Olympics at London's biggest Airport.

    Team Holland arrived in their typically Dutch bright orange tracksuits, and beach volleyball player Sophie Van Gestel said the woeful British summer wouldn't hinder them.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sophie Van Gestel, Dutch Women's Olympic Beach Volleyball Team (on arriving)
    "Good. I'm excited it was a good flight over. Good."

    -What do you make of the weather?

    "Yeah, it's the same as Holland, so it doesn't matter to us."

    Russia's Olympic sailing team also arrived on Monday and left London for final training at the sailing venue in Weymouth.
