I really like the other stadium designs besides the aquatic center and Olympic Stadium which I dont like.
I like the velodrome and badmiton stadiums the most.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR BEIJING 2008!!!!!

As for the mascots................................





Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Torino 2006, and Beijing 2008 all had/will have terrible mascots.lol.

Athletics is probably the biggest sport in the world when you really think about it. In some countries such as African or Carribean countries athletics are all that they have. Not to mention it is the easiest sport in the world to train for since all you need is a good patch of land and you can just start running.

IMO the only (Summer)Olympic sports should be:

Soccer
Basketball
Athletics
Swimming and Diving
Cycling
Field Hockey(actually very popular world wide)
Wrestling
Rowing
Water Polo
Volleyball
Pentathlon
Triathlon
Tennis
Gymnastics(take rythmic gymnastics out)
Boxing
Badminton

Everything else is either not played widely enough around the world (baseball) or isn't a real 'sport'(Equestrian, Archery, Rythmic Gymnastics, etc...)
 
There is a much better stadium in Hong Kong...............
