Worker has view of Athens preparations By DEREK GATOPOULOS, AP
The 54-year-old welder works on the hollow arches that will support the stadium roof created by Santiago Calatrava, a Spanish engineer whose steel-ribbed and see-through designs have given a modern look to airports, theaters and bridges in more than a dozen cities.
'This is a very difficult job. But I'm proud of it. It's a work of art,' said Garvriliadis, who's from near Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the original games.
Workers dangle from ropes, swing cranes and rush to install sunken tracks so the halves of the 17,000-ton roof can be rolled into place.
Inside the hollow arches, Garvriliadis clambers up wobbly metal stairs in the darkness of a tunnel to reach openings near the top.------------------------------------------- posted 6:18 AM :: reference link ::
