Heavy rain caused water to pour through acrylic roof joints and into the sound room, canceling cycling contests and forcing a megaphone due to loss of amplification. About 10,000 spectators attended a high school track meet at the 73,000 seat stadium, while flights were disrupted by a nationwide pilots and air controllers strike with Ottawa officials negotiating.
