Btw, I know the format of the Olympic Athletics meet in the stadium is holy, but I’d love it, if they did the thing that was done here and separated out some of the „field“ parts of track and field to their own location in the host cities. Originally, I thought that’s what Paris planned to do with „Games in the City“. Pole vault under the Arc de Triomphe. Shot Put on the Champs Elysees. There used to be an Olympics concept here in Germany where they wanted to put the 100m track in a soccer-specific stadium and have the spectators right up to the track.
