Yes, it is everyone’s nightmare. Not only a poor choice for a surface, they even turned the sprint straight the other way from how it was originally set up so you could enjoy the headwinds coming down an open street full force in your face. The decision was made not to put stands on the west side when the track was put in. They had permission to close the small street beside there to make room but decided not to when the Toronto Argos football team didn’t end up there as well.
I really hope the Berlin track only looks the same - but the verdict is still out.

The backstretch has a problem too, it feels like im running on a flat thin piece of rubber thats elevated off the ground.
