Aquatic centre 2012

The original estimated cost of the aquatic centre was £75 million - and then it was found that the cost was likely to be more, so the design was simplified. So effective was that simplification that it appears that the eventual cost will be £215 million, according to BBC London today, nearly three times the original estimate. That's more than the huge centrepiece of the Beijing Olympics; their stadium has cost £200 million. Needless to say, the ODC have said that this cost was included in the £9.3 billion, the current estimated cost of the Games. Just when does it stop being a Game?
