Workers continue to work despite howling winds on Sunday in order to keep to the Olympic construction timeline. The National Stadium, dubbed the 'Bird's Nest', is taking shape. The supports underpinning the steel structure were completely removed in September, and work on the plumbing and electricity have begun. Construction is expected to finish by the end of 2007.
