Nice pics but I hope they don't install that Olympic ring sculpture as they already have the ring fountain.

I like the torch sculpture. I think the original torch should have been relocated to the park and made some sort of centerpiece.

That's really a cool way to pay homage to our Olympic experience! I like all of the interactive Olympic upgrades. Very nice!

I like the fact that the pole vault sculpture is at the base of a long flight of stairs. If you wanted to go for it, you could really build up a good head of steam.

The IOC is so protective of its stuff, wonder if they have permission to use the symbol?

The rings already exist all over the park, so I doubt it would be an issue.
