Here's What Abandoned Olympic Venues Look Like Now
The Olympics as we know them have been held since 1849 and in 19 countries. They're a spectacle, but what happens to spectacles when they're over?
The Sarajevo Winter Games
The bobsled run is now used as a bike path
The Ski Jump in Cortina, for the Italian Games in 1956
For a sixty year old building this has held up incredibly well!
The 1936 Olympics held in Nazi Germany
Pretty glad that nothing's left of anything made by Nazi Germany to be honest...
The Olympic swimming pool from the Athens Games in 2004
Time has not been kind to this venue
The Beijing Olympic Beach Volleyball Center
Another venue that has really felt the ravages of time
Athens Flag Display, 2004
It could almost be a work of art
And finally, The Sarajevo Olympic Monument
I wonder what Rio might look like in a few years time?
