You're standing at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens, out in the suburb of Marousi. Locals simply call it OAKA. It's named after Spiros Louis, the Greek runner who won the very first Olympic marathon in 1896. This isn't just one stadium. It's a whole sports park, with five major venues and a cluster of smaller facilities around them.
