The YouTube channel Up Stories, using a special drone with a powerful telephoto lens (zoom), did a rough autopsy on Saturday in the area of ​​OAKA and from the Calatrava shelter.

It is noted that every sporting and cultural activity at the Central Stadium and the Cycling Track of the Olympic Facilities in Kalogreza suspended from Friday, as according to the explanations of the OAKA administration, the metal constructions of the Calatrava roofer do not meet the regulations allowable levels of static adequacy.

“Opinion for such a multi-dimensional and colossal project as the Calatrava canopy with many technical difficulties can’t be done with a cursory flight,” is clarified.

Reactions and unanswered questions were caused by the sudden “lock” in Central Stadium and the Cycling Track of the Olympic Facilities in Kalogreza, which “short-circuited” a series of planned sports and cultural events. This development raises questions about the maintenance procedures of a “jewel” for sports and culture such as the Olympic Stadium.

Announcements on the subject will be made on Monday by the Deputy Minister of Sports Yannis Vroutsis.

The iconic stadium completed this September 41 years of operation and contribution to sports and culture.

The Olympic Stadium of Athens is the largest capacity stadium in Greece, and is a part of the Olympic Sports Center of Athens “Spyros Louis” (O.A.K.A.). Its purpose from the beginning was to give the possibility of hosting large events from Greece. In the past, it hosted the games of Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, AEK, and the Greek national team. This year it is used by the Panathinaikos team, but only in European competition games.

Construction started in 1978 and completed in 1982. It was inaugurated on September 8, 1982 by the then President of the Republic, Konstantinos Karamanlis. The construction company was the German Weidleplan with responsible architects H. Stalhout, Fr. Herre and Dimitrios Andrikopoulos. It had an initial capacity of 80,000 seated spectators. The stadium is named after Spyros Louis, the winner of the marathon in the first modern Olympic Games of 1896 who was a resident of the Amarousi area.
