The Beijing National Stadium (traditional Chinese: 北京國家體育場; simplified Chinese: 北京国家体育场; Hanyu Pinyin: Běijīng Guójiā Tǐyùchǎng; Tongyong Pinyin: Běijīng Guójiā Tǐyùchǎng), also known as the National Stadium,[1] or the "Bird's Nest" (鳥巢) for its architecture, is a stadium finished for the Olympic Green in Beijing, China that has so far been completed as of March 2008.[2] The stadium will host the main track and field competitions for the 2008 Summer Olympics, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. It is located east of the Beijing National Aquatics Centre. In 2002, Government officials engaged architects worldwide in a design competition. Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron collaborated with ArupSport and China Architecture Design & Research Group to win the competition. Contemporary Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, is the Artistic Consultant for design.[3] The ground was broken on Christmas Eve December 2003, and construction started in March 2004, but was halted by the high construction cost in August 2004 and continued again. In January 2008, concerns about construction working conditions arose when it was revealed that 2 workers had died during the stadium's construction. The stadium can seat as many as 91,000 spectators during the Olympics. The capacity will then be reduced to 80,000 after the Games. It has replaced the original intended venue of the Guangdong Olympic Stadium[citation needed]. The stadium is 330 metres long by 220 metres wide, and is 69.2 metres tall. The stadium uses 258,000 square metres of space and has a usable area of 204,000 square metres. It was built with 36 km of unwrapped steel[citation needed], with a combined weight of 45,000 tonnes. The stadium has some 11,000 square metres of underground rooms with waterproof walls. The stadium will cost up to 3.5 billion yuan (≈423 million USD). Upon completion, this stadium will boast a state of the art Solar PV system produced by Suntech Power

indigoretard - The Olympic movement is above politics, but you are obviously so small of mind to see that. Someone needs a hug... There's someone in your life surely that could do that. I'd just as soon knock the shit out of you.

Just don't worry of something we not needed to, but work anythin out so, a speculation couldn't even get thru our Asian Market and so we, also able to do like what George Soros did... Anything work out even we are not gonnabe George Soros. I love to see Asian success, no matter Chinese, Indian, Arabs, The Japs, Malaysians, Singaporean, Thais etc... We are able to stand without USA.If they think they are the single powerhouse of the world, no more....

Westerners are creative? The recent financial meltdown is the result of their creativeness. Creativity and intelligence needs a boundary called Wisdom.

If you want to appear smarter, take off the stupid words like "China is facing a crisis." Smart people know that the Western world is in crisis now, but not China. Better wrapp up your "fragile CHina" ideology and sell this to the West. Let's see whether London can evne afford an Olympic stadium. If you still want to expose your silly cunt to the Dow Jones Index, I'd like to witness the intercourse you are enjoying. LMAO
