ATHENS OLYMPICS: General

  • The roof of the Olympic Velodrome was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
  • The sporting extravaganza did not appeal to all residents of the capital.
  • A marble statue of Greek poet Kostis Palamas, who wrote the words of the Greek national athem. All medal winners at the Games were crowned with olive wreaths.
  • Patriotism ran high during - and after - the sporting extravaganza.
  • Two evzones, or members of the Presidential Guard, in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the city centre.
  • The capital was spruced up ahead of the Games, and was awash with art during the sporting extravaganza.
  • Pine-covered Lykavitos, one of the largest hills in Athens, is arguably the capital's best vantage point.
  • A British spectator at the women's marathon event.
  • The Olympic Mascots, Phevos and Athena, play up for the foreign media.
  • A security blimp flies over the Olympic Torch burning at the Olympic Stadium.
