DESCRIPTION:Competitive sporting activities have played an important role 
 in human evolution and cultural development. From the ancient Olympic Game
 s in Athens to the modern version taking place this year in London\, athle
 tes have consistently striven to compete with\, and ultimately defeat\, co
 mpetitors for fame\, glory and self-satisfaction. Today\, professional spo
 rt is a multi-billion pound industry\, and consequently the stakes for spo
 rts men and women are incredibly high.\n	\nJoin three scientists working o
 n the genetics\, neuroscience and psychology behind sporting success. The 
 speakers will offer an insight into each of these areas before discussing 
 the overall contribution of science to a deeper understanding of sporting 
 performance.\n\nThe event is free and open to all. For more information an
