All sporting and cultural activities at the Central Stadium and the Olympic Facilities Cycling Track in Kalogreza are suspended from today, as the metal structures of the Calatrava roof do not meet the legally permitted levels of static adequacy, as informed by the OAKA.

OAKA’s announcement in detail:

“As part of the contract between the Ministry of Sports, OAKA and TAIPED for the project “Renovation of the Olympic Sports Center of Athens”, a study was received for the extensive inspection of the metal constructions of Calatrava and the polycarbonate roofs of the OAKA facilities.

In the Study, it is stated that the metal constructions of the Roof of the Central Stadium and the Cycle Track do not meet the legally permitted levels of static adequacy.

Based on the above and with a sense of responsibility, all sports and cultural activities in the Central Stadium and the Cycling Track are suspended from today.

A second Study will quickly follow, in order to investigate more thoroughly and to confirm or not the elements of the current Study.

We share the disruption in the sports family, but it is understandable that we must operate with the sole focus of the safety of athletes, athletes and fans”.
