Building a London 2012 venue - in a Dutch forest

An exact replica of one of London 2012's venues has been unveiled in the Netherlands.
The Dutch Olympic Committee has built a copy of the Olympic BMX track - it's part of a campaign to persuade Olympic hopefuls to train in the country in the run-up to the Games.
