I never liked the idea of building all this stuff for a one off and hope for a 'legacy' but I was pleased to hear the arenas are temporary and will be recycled. For example, did you know that after the games, the main stadium will be dismantled and turned into lots of little gazebos for homebase, and the basketball arena will be melted down to make the highest quality sporks london has ever seen. There is even talk of a spork for life, the first since Lord Admiral Nelson's one which he made after his arm come off.
