Damp debut for new London stadium   If the crowd was tiny, some
1,500 spectators lost in a vast expanse of empty black and white
seats in the 80,000 capacity arena, those present knew they were
witnessing a milestone of sorts.  "At the moment, I'm the track
record holder," grinned Chris Wakeford, competing for the
University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, after winning his 400m
hurdles heat in a night's best of 52.83 seconds.  "Obviously
there's a huge hype around it because it's in the Olympic
Stadium," he added. "You don't really know what to expect until
you walk out there.  "It's unlike any competition I've competed
in before because you warm up on a track away from the stadium
and then you're brought into it...and the stadium opens up in
front of you, and there's a crowd and spectators, it's a good
atmosphere."  It will be even better on Saturday when the
British Universities and Colleges outdoor championships merge
into a special event with celebrities and some of the nation's
Olympic hopefuls on track.
