Harry was met at the pool by Carlos Rocha and gold medal Olympian
swimmer Cesar Cielo, a member of
the club of 73,000. Harry then started a swimming race, where
Cielo agreed to swim the first leg for one of the
teams.
The 29-year-old Prince followed the
race by presenting swimming awards to
youngsters. Mr Cielo said that Harry’s visit, along
with Team GB’s decision to have their training camp there, was
a landmark in its history. “It’s one of the biggest moments of the
entire history of the project,” he said. “Great Britain has come
off a great Olympic result in 2012. It’s an honour for the club to
have such a great nation based here”.
Harry went inside the facility to play some sports with other
youngsters. The Prince played in goal during a game of football,
though had a clear advantage, due to his size and that of the
goal itself! Later on, he had a go at shooting hoops in the local
arena.
The next part of the day saw Harry meet with judo athletes and
happily pose for pictures with those he met. The day was in support
of the GREAT campaign, to honour the decision that Team GB had
decided upon their training base for the Olympics.
Harry spoke with Greg Dyke, the chairman of the FA seen speaking
with The Prince in the photo above, about England’s result in their
World Cup matches. Harry reportedly said: “It’s really sad. The couple of games that I
watched, I thought we played really well. It’s the best England
team we have had for some time”.
This evening Prince Harry went to watch the Costa Rica v
England World Cup match, where the teams drew 0-0.
