Moscow Gold Medallist Steve Ovett

After Seb's gold medal last week, we saw this statue of 800m gold medallist Steve Ovett in Brighton today...

Part of the park is now open to the public!

You can get a drink in this café that's suddenly appeared, just where the NBC broadcast area used to be

 
So you can sip Stella and admire the Velodrome. And at Olympic Park prices too!


This was where Springsteen was about five minutes ago. Already under re development. On the other side of the park there's a proper road and a bus route, so it's all starting to look like a normal bit of urban planning, to be honest

Seb Worship

At the Anniversary games they had a British Athletics tent with various bits and pieces in, including Sir Seb's Gold medal for the 1500m at the Moscow Games in 1980. That's quite exciting, isn't it?
 


Sainsbury's Anniversary Games 28th July 2013

It's not the Olympics
 
 

It's Usain Bolt's Rocket



The stadium still looks nice


But that looks odd, doesn't it?

The Copperbox is still there...


But the big screen has gone


There's still a security boat tootling about..

 
That nice bit with the bandstand has gone
 

But you do get Springsteen playing

Olympic Stadium at the Champions League Final Fanfest, May 25 2013


The actual real European Cup is in that box. Sorry, you'll just have to trust me on that. It was on display and they are taking it to Wembley. Really.

Team GB's Jack Butland...

.. not saving a last minute penalty from Forest's Billy Sharp at St Andrew's today.
 
Warning: May contain strong language, mainly related to the fatness of a nearby Nottingham Forest fan, as pointed out by the chap next to me.
