I understand that it is to be dismantled with the rest of the set this week before the arena reopens. A shame really as it would have enhanced each medals ceremony. 

According to friends in DCMS, its future hasn't been decided yet. My ear is to the ground though.

It looked splendid. As one might expect though, the mics didn't pick up the sound very well.
