..... and on the subject of the Olympics ..... at tea time the One Show was on TV and Princess Anne was interviewed. She was talking about the various stadia but referred to them as "stadiums".

[MartDude]

In current parlance, 'stadia' would, for most, refer to the ancient Greek unit of distance - in Olympic context, generally accepted to be ca. 176 metres. However, the Persian stadia were longer, so it's quite important if you're trying top get a grasp of Xenophon's 'Anabasis'
