London 2012 Olympics: Grenada athletics team loving Horsham, less so the weather The Grenada athletics team are very polite about Britain's weather, but it is the steps towards the comfort and warm liquids of the Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre near Horsham which give them away. The Grenadians have been based in the West Sussex market town for the past week while making their final preparations for the Olympics. Training facilities have been provided at the local athletics track which is situated in what appears to be the world's largest Tesco car park. Grenada's strong female contingent has already got the measure of the British press, if not British conditions. As a group they are very pretty and they know it. You might think it quite difficult to strike a pose while simultaneously jogging round a bend and winking at a team-mate, but these women manage it with aplomb. Even so, nothing is left to chance. Kanika Beckles checks each shot, laughs, and then has them shot again. Team-mate Janelle Redhead smiles at her, then does the same thing. Everyone is so kind. You just have to ask for something and it will be given to us," Beckles says. This is a view the whole team seem to share. I got here on Friday and so far I really like it even though it's rainy and kind of chilly. Training wise? Really good," Redhead adds. The residents of Horsham also receive a good report. It has been a marvellous place. The people have welcomed us with open arms," says chef de mission Conrad Francis. It's a very quiet place and I like the fact that we are the only team here. Not too many distractions, not too many media people, you know? But have the athletes had time to take in the many delights of this particular corner of West Sussex - Gatwick Airport's shopping facilities, Crawley town centre, Horsham's famed A281 north intersection? He thinks about it. "Well," he says eventually, "I have been to Tesco."
