During the 2008 Games, the 80,000-capacity stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, the track and field events (where legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won two of his golds) and the men's soccer gold medal match between Argentina and Nigeria.
For the 2022 Games, National Stadium is just the site of the opening and closing ceremonies, not any competitions.
