Desi Cartman Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Nothing, but the damage is still there just hours before the event is about to start ? This is not some media hyping it up disproportionately --- and Its under repair ... nothing has been postponed , there are no cancellations and its not meant to be used for training anyway ... Its just BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desi Cartman Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Why does it even have to come down to that in the first place ? cuz it got damaged :wall: BTW read this and tell me what do you think As the host nation at the previous Games in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia was the first nation of 71 to enter the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Sunday night but, as Moneghetti quipped, this was one time when being first wasn't the place to be. "It was one hour in absolute cauldron conditions, absolute," Moneghetti said. "In fact, it was so bad, they held us at a point that was very, very hot, it was unbearably hot, so we pushed forward. We pushed and we pushed about 50m, which was even hotter. "So then they brought event staff to us, who said we cannot move. And we revolted, rioted, and moved another 50m forward. We entered an area that had reverse air-conditioning, so it was hotter." So the staff wanted them to wait but the forced and moved to an area where it was hotter ... yea blame organizer for this ... I remember teams waiting in Melbourne games for 2 hrs before they could enter the ground and no it wasnt pleasant either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Why does it even have to come down to that in the first place ?

EnterTheVoid Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The picture in the first link is not a recent one as I saw it weeks ago in one of the pics to showcase the work being done at that time. from the first article I read that it got damaged and they are seeking clearance from security for have MORE workers work on it. Fair enough parts of it were damaged due to the opening ceremony but that was 3 days go. If it is still damaged with just 24 hours to go and there have been requests for an extension ----- "The BBC is reporting that athletics officials had asked for a 24 hour delay to the start of the programme, but that was rejected." ----- than this is a(nother) embarrassment and not mere scaremongering. Btw, did you hear about the calibration problems for the weigh in scales for the boxing event ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
