Lazarus Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 From FT.com: Athens swim hopes take a dive Athoc, the organising body for the Athens Olympics, has postponed for four weeks the swimming test event for the Games because of problems with erecting a roof over the main pool at the Olympic aquatic centre. The postponement, from April to May, marks the first time that a test event for the Games has had to be delayed because a venue will not be ready for competition....

Ziaka Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Another upcoming test event for Athens 2004 is the National Greek track & field championships, which will take place between June 10 - 12 at the Olympic Stadium. It should be interesting to see how they are going to have competition at the stadium with all the construction going on. Supposedly the sencond Kalatrava roof should be in place by then. Actually they started moving the second section today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
