The structure of the Olympic
Stadium in Athens features two huge arches which support
a massive steel and glass roof above enormous stands. The arches
caused some concern for the games organizers as it was an engineering
feat in itself sliding them into position. With the construction
of the stadium running behind schedule, the organizers had little
room for error in maneuvering them into place. Despite one or
two minor hiccups, all went smoothly.
