Ovewview of half the stadium. We were followed by about 14,000 other athletes. Here you can see one half of the soccer stadium. The red thing on the left is a raised podium that ran the length of the field down the middle of the stadium. On the other side was another runway for more athletes. It took about two hours for everyone to march in.

Ice Hockey
