London 2012 Organising Committee chair Seb Coe points out features of the Olympic Stadium to Denis Oswald
After visiting the Olympic Stadium with fellow members of the IOC's 17-strong delegation, Denis Oswald, chair of the Coordination Commission, said: 'I must say that I have not been here since May last year. I'm very impressed by how much work has been done.
'I can also say that I'm impressed by the concept. We knew there would be temporary seating but now we are seeing how it will work.
'For me, it was very relaxing to see how much work has been done. We will have a stadium. We are sure of it. It was not necessarily the case with previous Games.'
