I see they've published the design for the new Olympic stadium - it'll be half the size after the games 'cos they're ripping out a load of seats on the top tier. The reason for this is that the Olympics are over hyped crap and after the games athletics will return to it's non prime time spot in the schedules. Just like those compendiums of games you used to get for Christmas where they put a load of rubbish pastimes like snakes and ladders, ludo and dominoes together hoping that you would think quantity equaled quality they stick a massive amount of minority interest sports together to fool governments and punters into thinking they are getting great value for money.
There's very little interest from the younger generation - when was the last time your kids left home saying they were just nipping over the field to chuck a javelin about or they started moaning at you 'cos they couldn't find their throwing hammer and their best dressage jodphurs were in the wash. The best way to indulge in the interest that these sports hold for an elite few would be to digitise the whole thing and hold it online = no expensive stadia to build, no carbon footprint to speak of and no hours of training so anyone with access to the net could have a go.
There you go Seb sort it out.
