A kind of super sunken bath, it has five pools on two levels, and amenities like a glass-enclosed express elevator to the high-diving platform. Over a nearby ridge is the cycle stadium, a space-age affair that looks as if it could land on the Sea of Tranquillity. The main walkway in the Olympic Park...
