The eyes of the world will be watching when Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Usain Bolt and Co.’ go for gold’ at the London 2012 Olympic Games. But for some, the real star of the show won’t be on the track – it will be the athletics stadium itself. In the UK premiere of London’s Olympic Stadium take your seat inside the 80,000 capacity, £486 million arena that’s helped to transform the previously unfancied area of East London. Those lucky enough to have a ticket will enter a truly world-class sports venue that will form a fitting destination for the greatest show on Earth. And that’s not all: with London aiming to host the greenest Games ever, the eco-engineered stadium has been designed to be downsized afterwards, leaving behind a customised 25,000-seat athletics arena. Find out how some 5,000 workers battled freak weather conditions, a derelict site and the global financial crash to realise their very own Olympic dream.

Cape Town is building a brand-new stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Games, but it is the last World Cup project to get started. Australian project manager Andy Fanton is struggling to keep it on schedule and make up for lost time. Green Point Stadium has to be finished in 12 months to be ready for its first practice games. The construction team will have a tough time getting there, with a largely inexperienced group of workers and a severe shortage of cranes. The stadium roof is the biggest challenge of all as it is made up of high-tension cables; if they are not perfectly tensioned, the roof will collapse.
