OLYMPIC VENUES
By Alex Lowe, PA Sport
ATHENS, July 1 (Olympics) - The Athens Olympic Games, a blend of antiquity and
modernity, will be played out in a unique set of venues ranging from a stadium
nearly 3,000 years old to a host of new structures.
Organisers have had their problems getting all the venues ready on time and a
number of concessions had to be made along the way.
But as the Games return to their spiritual home, nothing will deflect from the
splendour of the Ancient Olympia stadium hosting competition for the first time
since 393 BC.
The Panathinaikon Stadium - the marble stadium where the modern Olympics were
revived in 1896 - will witness the finish of the marathon.
Here, PA Sport takes a look at all the Athens Olympic venues:

OLYMPIC STADIUM (located at the Athens Olympic Sports Complex)
The Olympic Stadium, the centrepiece of the Athens Games, hosts the track and
field events plus the opening and closing ceremonies.
A steel-and-glass roof designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava is to
be the ``architectural signature'' of the Games but its erection over the
stadium was delayed.
The upgrading of the 75,000 capacity stadium has been one of the more public
concerns, with dove-white seats only ordered from an Australian firm in April.

ANCIENT OLYMPIC STADIUM (Olympia)
The Games return to their spiritual home in ancient Olympia, 200 miles from
Athens, with the final of the men's and women's shot-put to be held in the
historic stadium.
To preserve the site there will be no temporary structures or grandstands, no
electronic boards or artificial lighting. Only movable throwing circles will be
placed in the stadium.
Olympia was the site of the ancient Olympic Games until 393 BC. and visitors
can walk through the ruins of the Temple of Zeus.

PANATHINAIKO STADIUM
The ancient marble Panathinaiko Stadium is widely known as 'Kallimarmaro' and
was the venue for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
In ancient years it hosted the Panathenean Games, festival events that were
held to honour the Greek goddess Athena (the Goddess of wisdom, skills, and
warfare in ancient Greece and protector of the City of Athens).
The overall project of restoration resulted in a 40,000 capacity for the
marathon finish - 108 years after Spyros Louis ran into the stadium to become
the first marathon gold medal winner of the modern era. It also hosts the
archery.

KARAISKAKI STADIUM (Athens)
The Karaiskaki Stadium was the velodrome for the first modern Olympic Games in
1896 before being renovated during the 1960s. It has been revamped into a modern
football stadium for 33,000 fans and hosts 11 matches, including both the men's
and women's finals. Greek club Olympiakos will move in after the Games.

MARATHON START (Marathon)
The race starts in the village of Marathon and follows the same route taken by
Greek messenger Phidippides, who ran 26 miles 385 yards to Athens to announce
the Greek victory against the Persians, only to drop dead upon delivering the
news.
The 2004 race will finish at the Panathinaiko Stadium - the famous marble
arena where the Games were revived in 1896 and where Spyros Louis became the
first marathon gold medal winner of the modern era.

Ήθελα να ήξερα αν στην Αμερική θα έβγαιναν τόσες εκατοντάδες χιλιάδες κόσμου στους δρόμους, ουσιαστικά χωρίς μέτρα ασφαλείας αλλά και χωρίς τον παραμικρό φόβο γι' αυτό.

Αυτό είναι αλήθεια Γιάννη. Το επεσήμανε και ένας σχολιαστής χθες (στο MEGA αν θυμάμαι καλά), ότι τόσο όλοι οι επίσημοι της χώρας, όσο και αυτοί οι ήρωες παίκτες, ήταν "εκτεθημένοι" σε πάνω από 100.000 κόσμο, με καμιά 10ριά μπράβους όλους και όλους γύρω τους για να τους οδηγήσουν στην εξέδρα, χωρίς κανείς να νιώσει να απειλείται.
Άντε να βγάλεις τη Βασίλισσα της Αγγλίας και τον Μπους δίπλα σε κόσμο, χωρίς προηγουμένως να έχεις ζητήσει το ποινικό μητρώο καθενός.

Πάντως, αυτό που έγραψαν οι αμερικανοί για τα πεζοδρομία, δεν έχουν και πολύ άδικο. Το δικό μας μάτι μπορεί να έχει συνηθίσει να βλέπει την ασχήμια ως δεδομένη, αλλά για τους ξένους, δεν είναι έτσι.
Σε μια απόσταση 10 λεπτών, από την έξοδο του μετρό στο Σύνταγμα μέχρι το Καλλιμάρμαρο, βλέπεις τα πεζοδρόμια της λ. Αμαλίας έτσι όπως είναι, 40 μέρες πριν τους Αγώνες (και δυστυχώς έτσι θα παραμείνουν), τις παλαιωμένες στάσεις των ΜΜΜ, τα μονοπάτια στον Εθνικό Κήπο, μέσα στο σκουπίδι, με σπασμένα τα φωτιστικά, με 'τρύπες' πρόχειρα σκεπασμένες, έτοιμες να σε καταπιούν μέσα στο σκοτάδι, το χώρο μπροστά από το Ζάππειο, στρωμένο με πίσσα δρόμων, αντί με ένα υλικό, που θα έδινε την αίσθηση της πλατείας...
Αν και είναι εκτός θέματος, αλλά ας με συγχωρήσουν οι διαχειριστές, χθες πηγαίνοντας στο Στάδιο είδα μια πόλη, που με τίποτα δεν σε έπειθε, ότι σε λίγες ημέρες φιλοξενεί Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες. Και μιλάμε για το κέντρο της και όχι για κάποια υποβαθμισμένη γειτονιά της. Δυστυχώς...
Και θα πω και για τους εκστασιασμένους ελληνες, που έσβηναν τα τσιγάρα τους πάνω στα μάρμαρα του σταδίου. ...Οταν δεν έπαιζαν "μπουκαλοπόλεμο" με τους από κάτω τους.
Θλίψη.

Ξέρεις τι μου τη δίνει Γρηγόρη; Να, τώρα διάβαζα το άρθρο του καραγκιόζη από πάνω και φεύγανε τα φάσκελα βροχή. Ότι είναι τέτοιο το κόλλημά τους, που περιμένανε να φτιάξουμε και δημοσιογραφικά θεωρεία στο καλλιμάρμαρο, και μάλιστα με κλιματισμό. Οι (ειδικοί) ανεμιστήρες πάγου που δουλέψανε σαν τρελοί στην Ατλάντα και το Σίδνεϊ, τώρα δεν τους αρέσουν!
Εδώ ούτε πανώ δεν επιτρέπουν στην οργανωτική να κρεμάσει στο Καλλιμάρμαρο, για να μην χαλάσει το μνημείο, κι αυτοί μου γυρεύουν λουξ σουίτα πάνω στο μάρμαρο.
Και το χειρότερο: Διαμορφώνουν γνώμη!!!
Το διάβασες το άρθρο. Ουσιαστικά προεξοφλεί στους συναδέλφους του που θα καλύψουν τους Αγώνες, ότι θα περάσουν δυο βδομάδες κόλαση! Κι όχι μόνο τους προειδοποιεί, αλλά τους συμπονάει κιόλας. Με αυτή τη νοοτροπία, άντε να περιμένεις αντικειμενική ενημέρωση. Κι αν οι συνάδελφοί του είναι της ίδιας ποιότητας με αυτόν, τότε βράσε ρύζι... Πώς να τους συμμαζέψεις και τι να τους εξηγήσεις;

Το Τζιμακο δεν μπορω να γραψω εδω που τον εχω, αλλα αυτος και αλλοι ομιοι του θα τον καταπιουν τον Αυγουστο, οπως ακριβως τον καταπιαν ολοι με το Ευρωπαικο. Πριν 4 μερες ειχα ολο τον κοσμο γραμμενο, μετα την Κυριακη πλεον δεν μπορω να περιγραψω τι εχει συμβει οποτε δεν θα προσπαθησω. Απλα να πω οτι σημερα ημουνα στην Γλασκωβη, και ολοι μα ολοι (απο την δευτερα στο Λονδινο) μου δινανε συγχαρητιρια, και μου λεγανε οτι ζηλευουν που θα ειμαι Αθηνα τον Αυγουστο . Και στο γραφειο μου εκοψαν αποκοματα απο ολες τις εφημεριδες της Σκωτιας για το λευκωμα που ετοιμαζω για τον γιο μου για να δει οταν μεγαλωσει τι εστι Ελλας.

Και το ποιο κουφο ισως που διαβασα - Θα ειχαμε γλειτωσει 10 χρονια βασανα, λεει, αν ειχαμε τον Δελλα στον Τρωικο Πολεμο

Apospasmata:

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts? Not on this occasion. By winning the European Championship, Greece have gifted us clear evidence of the effect a commitment to sport can have on a country.

It can raise morale. It raises profile. It raises all-round performance and investment. It provokes change. In short…it raises the game. Of the people, and of the country as a whole.

Greece have (potentially) the greatest ever Olympics still to come in just over a month's time. Yet, because of the country's newly acquired passion for sport, they already have the world's third-largest sporting prize in the bag.

Greece this week reaped the first benefits of a brave decision to go for the Olympics seven years ago. Some might have been shocked by their performance in Portugal. They shouldn't have been. The Greeks haven't finished yet.
The commitment this small, proud country has shown to sport since winning the right to stage the Games means they will surprise a lot more people before the end of August.

Athens will be spectacular, and Greece will collect plenty more medals to go with those gained three days ago.
Given the same enlightened approach, and the conviction required to address difficult issues associated with an Olympic bid, Britain could easily enjoy similar rewards in eight years' time.Greece will collect plenty more medals to go with those gained three days ago

Ρεπορταζ για την πυρκαγιά από το BBC

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3874455.stm

Μάλλον έχουν βάλει ειδικό "ψαχτήρι" και μόλις βρεθεί κάτι που αρχίζει από Ολυμπιακ* το κάνουν αμέσως θέμα. Οι περασμένες τεράστιες πυρκαγιές στην Πάρνηθα και αλλού ποτέ δε γίνονταν θέμα στο BBC ή αλλού.

[Nikos C.]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5000680/

Αυτός εξηγεί τί γίνεται στο μυαλό των Αμερικανών καλύτερα από όλους.

Mostly, it seems, they’ve caved in to the fear of terrorism.

The fear is not rational, but it is understandable. That isn’t a contradiction. Our brains are programmed to react with irrational fear to things gruesome and grisly, no matter how remote the chances of them actually happening to us.

If some hapless surfer becomes human sushi for a shark in Australia, and it makes all the major news outlets, people will be afraid to go in the water in Florida. People who should be afraid of backing out of their driveways are instead afraid of flying.

A psychologist of some sort — he was sitting on the next bar stool and if he told me the name of his specialty, I forgot it, although I do remember a great joke the guy two stools down told me about a lawyer, a priest, and a cocker spaniel — once told me this is just the way we react. There’s a scientific name for it — I didn’t catch that, either — but, basically, the more horrifying the situation, the more frightened we are of it. The chances of it actually happening have nothing to do with it.

So when we should be worried about the things that probably will kill us — heart disease and cancer — we’re worrying instead about being the one person a year pushed in front of a subway train.

Which brings us to our reluctant heroes. Being blown up by terrorists is one of those things that triggers the irrational fear reflex. The reality is that few places will be safer than inside an Olympic venue. Downtown Athens you may worry about a bit, but the venues and the athletes’ quarters will be virtual fortresses. The chances are better of getting hurt in a car accident back home than of getting hurt inside the Olympic venues.

Before you say that’s easy for me to say — or after, if you’ve already beaten me to the cliché — I’ll be in Athens, reporting on, among other things, the struggles of the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team that so few of the good players cared to play for. I’ve never thought of not going. These are the Olympics, the biggest sporting event on the third rock from the sun. It’s worth whatever small risk there may be to go there.

For me, there’s not even any glory, just the chance to cover the best athletes in the world competing to see which is the absolute best. In virtually every sport, you can’t find an athlete worth the name who would even consider passing up that chance.

But in American basketball, you can hardly find an athlete who can be bothered to participate.

It’s a sad commentary.[/url]

Πολύ καλή η ανάλυση. Ο δημοσιογράφος μάλλον έχει δεί το Bowling for Columbine του Michael Moore που αποτελεί πραγματεία για τη σχέση των Αμερικανών με το φόβο και τον καταλυτικό ρόλο των μέσων στην καλλιέργεια του φόβου.

Highlights:

"I feel that Athens' preparation work, on the whole, is going according to plan. The time in which they have to build some venues is tight, but I do engineering and I think they have it under control."

"I think venue construction (in Beijing) will really be done in about the middle of '07, I estimate it will take more than a year to adjust and try everything"
