ATHLETICS: UK Athletics has admitted it will be almost impossible to fill the Olympic Stadium when it stages meetings following the Olympics. The main event, the London Diamond League Grand Prix, attracts a 17,000 capacity crowd to Crystal Palace where it is currently held. “Some events will attract a significant paying public, others a much smaller paying public,” said Ed Warner, chairman of UK Athletics.
