Brilliant indeed,
It is only left to see if the host of the 2016 games will be willing to use part of an old Olympics,
as we know it is a lot about pride.

Mohir: Pride indeed is a problem. Excess pride is a non recyclable pollutant

While the Chinese are building one of the world;'s mega stadiums in Beijing, the organizers of the London 2012 Olympics have developed one of the planet's great recycling schemes that could offset construction costs, and be sure that their stadium finds a purposeful second life by dismantling around 70% of the proposed London Olympic Stadium, pack up the components, and send them to the host of the 2016 Olympics.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/while-the-chien.html">In the words of Tessa Jowell, the Olympics Minister: "No-one can say we've compromised on design, on sustainability or on the legacy potential."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/while-the-chien.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailygalaxy.com/img/3E6563B0-806D-4536-85DA-B91A028A9684" alt="Londonolympicstadium" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/while-the-chien.html">
The concept is part of a new approach to the Olympic Games. Rather than
building everything new every four years, the “prefab” stadium idea
allows facilities to be built in one city, then moved as efficiently as
possible and be adapted to existing arenas in the new host city.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D73D6156-ADA9-476D-988D-CB2E72ECA16D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
