New aerial pictures have been released of the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, as the IOC arrives for an inspection visit. The grass and running track will be laid next year. All venues are set to be handed over by next July.
A closer view of the iconic Aquatics Centre, where the permanent structure and wave-shaped roof is in place. Work is under way on the Games-time temporary seating stands, ceiling timber cladding and concrete dive boards.
The Velodrome structure is complete and watertight and the timber track is being installed. The ODA says the Velodrome is on target to be the first Olympic Park sporting venue to be completed in early 2011.
The "shrink-wrapped" Basketball Arena, where 12,000 seats are being installed. Lifts, toilets and external service rooms are under construction.
More than three-quarters of the residential plots in the Athletes' Village are structurally complete and the first stage of landscaping has begun.
After the Games, the village will be used for housing. It includes a new school, Chobham Academy (above), which is taking shape as part of the Olympic Park build.
The structures of the International Press Centre and multi-storey car park are all complete and work has started on the temporary "high street" for journalists and broadcasters during the Games.
