The International Olympic Committee requires all venues for the 2012 London Games to be finalized by March.

Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, said Wednesday that London organizers are still deciding on two venues a joint facility for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics and a location for shooting.

"At least in March, all of that will be closed so that we know where all the venues are," Felli said after the IOC executive board reviewed London's venues layout.

As a cost-cutting measure, organizers said recently they are considering scrapping a temporary, 6,000-seat venue for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics and moving the sports to an existing facility.

They also are weighing whether to move shooting from its present site in Greenwich.
