They’ll be able to see Britain’s best ever windsurfer Nick Dempsey ‘windsurfing’ in a bedroom with a bed sheet, four times BMX World Champion Shanaze Reade performing tricks on her bike in the lobby, world number one Will Bayley hitting table tennis balls behind reception, and UK long-jump record holder Chris Tomlinson jumping in a corridor. Guests will also be able to have their picture taken with all four of the athlete ‘auras’ and share it with friends and family via their social networks.
