Measuring 35m high and made from 1000 tons of steel, it’s not known what the stadium will be recycled into. It could be shipped off to the next country lucky enough to be elected the Olympics host, paving the way for less affluent countries to have the privilege, but I can’t help but think with that puffy white exterior, it could house a marshmallow factory.
