Olympic Stadium, Montreal - Canada HD Travel Channel
The architecture of the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Quebec in Canada is a lasting memory of the summer Olympics of 1976.
The Olympic swimming pool was biggest in the world up to the construction of the swimming pool in Sydney. Half of the bottom can be lowered or elevated, so that the water depth can be adjusted for the individual competitions.
The stadium was the first one with a variable roof. Especially in winter, when 100 tons of snow loads cover the roof, the construction had not prove itself, so that today it is firmly closed and heated in winter. Shortly before our visit the great marathon took place.
Emblem of the Olympic stadium is his sloping tower. From the observation deck on top you have a great panoramic view over the Olympic Village, the downtown, the St. Lawrence River and the harbor. However the tower was completed only 11 years after the Olympics, because the workers frequently were on strike during the construction phase.
The tower serves as the basis for funicular which brings the visitors in less than 2 minutes to the observation deck.

Die Architektur des Olympiastadions in Montreal in der Provinz Quebec in Kanada ist die bleibende Erinnerung an die Sommerolympiade von 1976.
Die Schwimmhalle war bis zum Bau der Schwimmhalle von Sydney die Größte der Welt. Der Boden des halben Beckens kann gesenkt und gehoben werden, so dass die Wassertiefe für die einzelnen Bewerbe angepasst werden kann.
Das Stadion war das erste mit variablem Dach. Die Konstruktion hat sich aber besonders im Winter, wo 100 Tonnen Schnee darauf lasten, nicht bewährt, so dass es heute fest geschlossen und im Winter beheizt ist. Kurz vor unserem Besuch fand im Stadion ein Marathonlauf statt.
Wahrzeichen des Olympiastadions ist sein schräger Turm, der einen umfassenden Rundblick über das olympische Dorf, die Innenstadt, den St. Lorenz-Strom und den Hafen gewährt. Der Turm wurde allerdings erst 11 Jahre nach der Olympiade fertig gestellt, weil die Bauarbeiter während der Bauphase häufig streikten.
Der Turm dient als Basis für eine Zahnradbahn, mit der man die Aussichtsplattform in weniger als 2 Minuten erreicht.

Olympic Stadium - Montreal
Olympic Stadium (French: Stade Olympique) is a multi-purpose stadium in Canada, located at Olympic Park in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of Montreal. Built in the mid-1970s as the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics, it is nicknamed The Big O, a reference to both its name and to the doughnut-shape of the permanent component of the stadium's roof.

Five Cities That Got F*cked by Hosting the Olympics
Every four years with the Olympics, municipalities compete to host the winter and summer games and virtually always plunge their cities and sometimes even their home countries into massive debt and insolvency.

Why? Because host cities inevitably spend double or more over initial estimates, fewer people show up than expected, and the International Olympic Committee, or IOC, takes bigger and bigger cuts of TV and other revenue streams. Sports economist Andrew Zimbalist says that a typical Summer Olympics generates up to $6 billion in revenue, at least half of which goes to the IOC. Winter Games generate even less money despite often being more expensive to host than Summer Games. Cities routinely claim that whatever money they spend on new facilities will stimulate the local economy for decades to come.
With the recent announcement that Paris will host the 2024 Summer Games and Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Games, here are five cities that got fucked by hosting the Olympics.
Athens, Greece, 2004.
Athens is the birthplace of the ancient games that inspired today's modern municipal money pits. Its 2004, Games cost $16 billion, or 10 times the original estimate. By 2010, more than half the venues built for the event were underused, completely empty, or literally falling apart.
Sochi, Russia, 2014.
At $50 billion, the Sochi Winter Games cost more than all previous Winter Olympics combined, paid for by a dwindling supply of Russian petro dollars and gold bullion. Boris Nemtsov documented that $21 billion went to embezzlement and kickbacks for businessmen friends of Vladimir Putin. Nemtsov was later assassinated.
Rio de Janiero, Brazil, 2016.
Plagued by low ticket sales partly due to the outbreak of the Zika virus, the Rio games ended up costing $20 billion rather than the $13 billion backers claimed. The Olympics were hosted on the heels of the 2014 World Cup, which also cost a ton of loot, and the showplace Maracana stadium, which got a $500 million makeover, was largely abandoned soon after the games and had thousands of seats ripped out by vandals.
Beijing, China, 2008.
The Beijing Games cost $42 billion, a record at the time, even though Amnesty International charged that the Chinese government used forced labor to build many of the venues. The IOC didn't mind the stratospheric costs or crackdowns on dissent, though: It awarded Beijing the 2022 Winter Games.
Montreal, Canada, 1976.
The mayor of Montreal declared that the Olympics can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby. Unfortunately, it took Montreal 30 years to pay off its debt just for the main stadium built for the 1976 Summer Games.
If there's good news here, it's that cities seem to be wising up: Paris and Los Angeles were the only two cities to bid on the 2024 Olympic Games and IOC was so anxious that there wouldn't be enough applications for 2028, that it pre-emptively awarded it to LA. But just like with professional sports teams that extort tax dollars and subsidies for stadiums that never pay back their inflated costs, it's likely the Olympics will keep finding new suckers for one of the oldest scams in sports.

Olympic stadium :
Olympic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Canada, located at Olympic Park in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of Montreal.
The elevator faces north-east, offering a view to the north, south and east. It overlooks the Olympic Village, the Biodome, the Botanical Gardens and Saputo Stadium. The Olympic Park, the stadium's suspended roof and downtown Montreal can be viewed from the south-west facing Observatory at the top of the tower.
Starting in 2018, the Desjardins Group plans to move approximately 1000 of its employees into the Montreal Tower. The company plans to occupy 7 of the 12 floors available in the tower. It is estimated that around $60 million in renovations are required before Desjardins can move in
The stadium is directly connected to the Pie-IX metro station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro. Viau metro station on the Green Line is also nearby.
As part of the commemorative stamps created for the 1976 Olympics, Canada Post issued a stamp depicting the Olympic Stadium and Velodrome
It is opened on July 17 1976 and it is now 43 years old.

RR7521A CANADA MONTREAL'S OLYMPIC CRISIS
RR7521A CANADA MONTREAL'S OLYMPIC CRISIS
Will the 1976 Olympic Games open on time? With less
than 14 months to go before the opening ceremonies,
construction workers on the new sports complex in
the host city, Montreal, have gone on strike for the
second time in six months. They are spearheading a
campaign against anti-union legislation that is fast
becoming the biggest labour dispute in Canada's
history. Meanwhile, the 125 acre site remains a
confusion of concrete, mud and metal. Inflation, too,
has hit the Olympic project with costs soaring to three
times their original estimates. Mexico or Munich
could stage the Games at short notice. That would
save the Olympics, but shatter 'Drapeau's Dream'-
the vision of Montreal's dynamic mayor, who still
maintains his city will beat the clock and the costs.

The Olympic swimming pool is located under this tower. An Olympic velodrome (since converted to the Montreal Biodome, an indoor nature museum) was situated at the base of the tower in a building similar in design to the swimming pool. The building was built as the main stadium for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games. The stadium was host to various events including: the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, football finals, and some equestrian events.
