Didn't we build the Richmond oval for the Olympics and didn't China build the Birds eye stadium just for the Olympics.

I was just looking at the bids from the other countries and their proposed Stadiums are quite impressive as well (well portugals anyway and mexicos is nice too)
but their presentation isn't up to par with Qatars (the video)

They allow people to check it out as a tourist attraction but they're not really doing anything with it.

The Oval is just a big rec/community center now. Theres exercise classes, a sweet gym, two olympic sized ice rinks and a gym surface.
I have no idea what the birds nest stadium is used for now...

The Richmond Oval is fantastic, if I lived closer I'd get a membership. Maybe it is a bit big for a community centre, as there is a lot of wasted space above all the courts/rinks, yet damn it is awesome as a sporting venue. I can play virtually any sport at one location on fantastic surfaces.
