Daredevils climb roof of Athens Olympic Stadium

Daredevils climb roof of Athens Olympic Stadium

 A video of two daredevils climbing to the top of the Olympic Stadium (OAKA) roof in Athens went viral on social media on Friday.

Originally posted on TikTok, the video shows two masked individuals walking across the roof without any safety equipment. In another clip, shared by the same group, Lumiere Urbex, the daredevils are seen setting up hammocks inside the stadium, reportedly spending the entire night there.

Amid the public backlash, the group removed the videos from their TikTok account.

The iconic arched roof of OAKA, designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, had recently undergone maintenance work.
