Numerous sources have mentioned this, so it is accurate.
Based on my web search, I found that there is some truth to this claim. Specifically, Greek authorities have indeed shut down the Olympic Stadium and its cycling track in OAKA, Greece’s biggest sports complex, due to concerns over the stability of their steel dome, which was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. However, the decision was not based solely on a technical consultant’s report, but also on a study commissioned by the government in 2021, which found that the stadium’s roof did not meet the legally permitted levels of static adequacy. The study also recommended that the dome be dismantled and replaced with a new one.
I would conclude that the information is partly true as itcontains some errors and omissions that make it less reliable and trustworthy. It seems to be an example of partial reporting or sensationalism that aims to attract attention and generate reactions.
In researching this story, I have found numerous newspapers that cover this event. I therefore consider this to be reliable and accurate information.
