intoronto 650 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think the Olympic Stadium might be behind schedule??? Don't they need it by November to set up the ceremonies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

runningrings 678 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Unless we are all structural engineers, I don't think we can judge the schedule of the stadium based on pictures. IIRC Athens roof was barely half finished a year out from the 2004 Games. Sochi will be just fine, Putin will make sure of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatsnotmypuppy 559 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 They purposefully slowed down the stadium construction. The Russians know exactly what stage they need to be at and I am sure alot of the ceremony infrastructure is already built in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2053 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks TTMP. Runningrings, using Athens as an example to prove Sochi isn't behind isn't great logic. Their stadium WAS a rush to finish, They never planned to have the roof wheeled into place that soon before the Games!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their stadium WAS a rush to finish, They never planned to have the roof wheeled into place that soon before the Games!! Athens also being the Olympics that said they were going to build a roof over the aquatics venue. Pretty sure the original plans weren't to scrap that entirely just a few months before the Olympics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2053 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Classic GB thread that was! Daily webcam pictures of the Athens' stadium roof, a few millimetres different each time. It ran to 60 pages or something in the end. Tense times! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
