A Special Place - Munich's Olympic Stadium

Five years ago, I've crossed the pond for the first time in my life, the reason of this trip was to compete at the second stage of the Archery World Cup in Antalya (Turkey), before the competition I went to Berlin (Germany) for a training camp to help us to carry on with the "Jet-Lag"after all the activities has finished we've had a stopover at Munich (Germany... too).

I didn't had any idea for the scales for our return to Chile, and our former coach told us that the fist scale will be seven hours in Munich, he asked to us what we can do in that hours, as a great Olympic Fan, I've said why not go to the Olympic Park and know some of the venues that was used at the 1972 Olympic Games?

All the team thought that was a great idea, so we went there, I can say these park is really impressive, but the most important piece of this park was the tensile roof of the Olympic Stadium, perhaps the masterpiece of the German Architect Frei Otto (Pritzker 2015), before my visit I've never imagined the massive scale of that roof, for me was special because was the first Olympic Stadium that I've visited ever,
other important events that was held there was the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup and the final of the EURO '88, it's a great place to visit.

In the image of  the rightside it's the cauldron that was used during the 1972 Olympics, this cauldron is more little than the used at the last five Olympic Games, but it's a great piece of the Sports History.

This place was for me one of the milestones that built my way to be at my first Olympic Games in 2016, perhaps not as an athlete but I've been part of it as Torchbearer and Volunteer, a big experience anyway!!.
