"Its a wonderful stadium. It's beautiful. Very modern but it also has a lot of charm"
Carl Lewis on the Olympic Stadium
"It is of great importance that young people get to experience and be inspired by some of the amazing civil engineering projects that have been undertaken for the Olympics. It's no understatement to say that the Velodrome, Aquatics Centre and main Stadium are awe-inspiring. I think as many young people as possible should get to see them up close to appreciate the impact that a career in design and engineering can have."
