Fancy yourself as London’s answer to Usain Bolt? Delusional or not, your dreams of sporting glory could now be just a short flight away – because the world’s first sports theme park opened recently in Barcelona. Open Camp is a place for athletics fanatics to try their hand at all sorts of fun and games – from the strenuous to the not-so-much – within the city’s former Olympic Park. Many activities on offer feature state-of-the-art technology used by professional athletes: visitors can have a go on hi-tech footie and boxing simulators, and take part in 100 metre sprints, wheelchair racing, long jumps and loads more.
There are even video game tournaments, for those who prefer their sporting experiences rather more sofa-oriented. At the end of it all, you can even stand on a podium waving your country’s flag, should the whole experience go to your head. Winning!
