London Olympic Stadium Bidding Process Delayed By Several Weeks

The new bidding process to take over London's Olympic Stadium after the '12 Games "has been delayed for at least three weeks." The new timetable means that "tender documents will be finalised after the IAAF vote" on whether London will host the '17 World Athletics Championship. If London wins out over a Doha bid, a "capacity of 60,000 seats will have to be retained in some form," but defeat could open the option of a smaller capacity, which would attract Leyton Orient and potentially other bidders" (London TELEGRAPH, 11/2).
