The decision in London on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 to keep the Olympic Stadium in public ownership, guarantees the legacy of the Olympic stadium as an athletic multi use facility, both for football (or soccer in the former colonies), and athletics (track & field). Ed Warner, Chairmen of UK Athletics had this to say about the decision, which, from this statement, he obviously welcomed:

UKA CHAIRMAN ED WARNER COMMENTS ON TODAY’S OLYMPIC STADIUM DECISION

 

UK Athletics have welcomed today’s decision to retain the Olympic Stadium in public ownership. Chairman Ed Warner said:

 

“This decision has
provided absolute clarity for everyone involved. It guarantees the
athletics legacy pledged as part of our Olympic bid, and ensures the
stadium will be able to host world class athletics from the summer of
2014. It is very good news for our bid to host the IAAF World Athletics
Championships in 2017 as it further reinforces the guarantees provided
by the London 2017 bid team to last week’s IAAF Evaluation Commission.

 

“The
plans for the stadium remain unaltered.  It will be remodelled as a
60,000 seat arena, fully roofed, with an adjacent warm up track.  We
look forward to welcoming the Aviva London Grand Prix to the stadium in
2014 and to hosting the World Championships in 2017 if the IAAF does us
the honour of awarding the event to the UK.

 

“It
would be a central part of an integrated legacy strategy for the
Olympic Stadium that will benefit British sport for generations to come.
