That velodrome is a work of art really. I was watching a program about how everything was built and how both the swimming arena and main stadium can have the grand stands removed at the end of the games to lower the maintenance costs. I think the velodrome is the only facility that is not going to be taken apart (in some way) at the end of the games because of the cycling park it sits on.
And damn the one day I wanted to watch something on the olympics live at work, I forget my head phones! ARG!
