Abandoned Olympics Venues

 

Source


In February 2022, during the Beijing Winter Olympics, James Grebey and Gabbi Shaw published an Insider piece on the fate of Olympics venues illustrated with 34 photos such as the one above. Worth a look.

34 photos that show how some Olympic venues are left abandoned after the Games end

  • The 2022 Winter Olympics are underway in Beijing.
  • Sometimes cities successfully repurpose parts of their Olympic set-ups, like in Montreal.
  • But oftentimes these giant investments are torn down or abandoned, as these photos show.

    Looks like the House of Commons with an adjournment debate.

    I'm surprised that London came out so well. I thought it would be derelict as well.

    dearieme - it does, or another debate on vaccination issues.

    Sam - I expected at least some dereliction too - quite encouraging as well as surprising.

    Off the top of my head, there's one in Serbia and a lot of it is full of bullet holes due to the balkan war. I watched a program about it some time ago

    Bucko - maybe with the bullet holes it was left as a reminder.
