The Olympic village in Stratford London is in full use, the athletes accommodation is now public housing and the stadium is now used by West Ham United football club. They also turned the whole area into an amazing city park 👍🏼
Same for Atlanta he said Olympic cauldron was crumbling but the stadium that’s shown was destroyed because the occupants moved out but now there building apartments right next to it and the other things listed aren’t really in a populated area. They also have the Olympic park still hosting events they had several concerts there when they had the Super Bowl.
@@lembuice8900 was just about to say that. plus the swimming pool and dorms around it were given to Georgia Tech (lol now i can say i swam in the same pool as olympians).
@@lembuice8900 In Atlanta the Olympic stadium was turned into Turner Field and when the Braves left, it was bought by Georgia State University and repurposed and downsized into Georgia State Stadium. Some of the other Atlanta Facilities are now part of Georgia Tech University, Georgia State University, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Morris Brown College. Others have been torn down. I believe that Atlanta used college dorms for its athlete housing and Olympic Village on the campuses of Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Clark Atlanta Universities. .
Scrolled way too fare to find the first comment about this. The problem is real but the video is a joke (Talking about Atlanta but showing Rio pictures, Talking about Turin Italy but showing Florence instead) mixing up images/footage with your story doesn't make the story trustworthy
I’m proud to say that all the Olympic stadiums, training facilities and villages built for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico are still fully used today. I have trained in many of them and they’re in great conditions.
You forgot to mention how London has a thing called the London Legacy Development Corporation which was created to ensure the preservation and legacy of the games/venues. Not one building from London 2012 has been abandoned, all reused/repurposed/rebuilt.
Agreed, what a bunch of lies. London has to be one of the greatest transformations and successes, but somehow they have turned it into lies on here. Sad really why people need to lie for content sake.
@@MichaelSnasdell Incredibly true! If they did any research at all they would find how the games provided a well needed and incredible transformation to a big area in East London. The regeneration of Stratford/surrounding areas in the borough of Newham as a result of the games has touted London 2012 as one of the best and most impactful games ever. Such a shame to see the great legacy somewhat tarnished by a creator looking for views.
@@JoshWaller but what do we know eh lol. Its all about the likes and subscribes these days, regardless of the truth. Then we wonder why so may people walk around talking rubbish. At least some of us are in the know. As a Londoner I mocked the games during the build up, but was so damn proud in the end. What a legacy!
The issue isn’t that the olympics is a waste. It’s that it’s far too often given to cities/countries who can’t afford the game and/or have poor leadership
He didn’t tell the truth with Atlanta. Atlanta uses every venue that was used in the Olympics still up to today but Fulton County Stadium was already planned to be demolished after the games because the Braves were moving in Turner Field! 💯
Atlanta did a pretty good job of reusing Olympic venues. The Lake Lanier facility is the only venue I am aware of which fell into disrepair. Nearly everything built for 1996 had an after life planned.

Half of what they said were lies. And, you can understand why Sarajevo fell apart. It's a city that went through a war. Hard to maintain it when half the time it's occupied by one group or another.

This was my thought, too, as I looked at the modern, multi-story athletes' accommodations. With millions of homeless all over the world, people living in appliance boxes, sleeping in doorways and under bridges, while these modern buildings crumble away, abandoned, makes little sense. (Well, I guess we can't expect logic from elected officials, can we?) Stay safe.

He lied About Atlanta and London as well. All the permanent buildings from 2012 are in full use. The Olympic apartments are now worth around £1Million each. This video is complete nonsense.
I’m an Aussie and I have to say this video makes me glad that most of the venues from the Sydney Olympics that took place back in 2000 are still being used for example the Olympic stadium where the track and field events took place is still being used and the aquatic centre where the swimming and diving events took place is still being used it’s now a public aquatic centre anyone can use it in other words you can actually swim in the same pool where the swimming events took place
Its the same with Melbourne's facilities from the 1956 Olympics. I would go swimming in the same pool that they used. Everything has been re-used, and is much loved by the community here.

Every single building that was built for Sydney 2000 till to this date are been used well done Australia bring on Brisbane 2032 as we know how to do it 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yes. Brisbane knows how to blow 1 billion on reconstructing the Gabba, rather than build a 80,000+ seater new venue elsewhere that could be used by the AFL and cricket post Olympics.
The world thanks Brisbane and Australia for hosting 2032 Games. We need countries to spend more money than ever on sporting events, in order to boast the world economy.
@@antoniokawarski6111 No, we don't need more spending. We just need hosts that are actually prepared, and for the IOC to support said hosts instead of leaving Tokyo to rot solely so they can mooch off of them.
@@gabetalks9275 Brisbane right next to Melbourne? Not really, it's 1,800km away. It would like hosting the Olympics in London and then using facilities in Rome, that's how far away it is from Brisbane.
the worst part was that brazil tried to make this country so desirable that they covered the favelas (slums) with a wall of sort so that tourists coming out of the country’s airport can’t see those slums
a lot of this is a load of bs, governments have reused most venues and redeveloped them. getting sick of these you tubers spruiking crap just to get views
yeah I literally went there last year, it's still as great as I remember it, they even added new stuff there. It's worth checking out if you're ever in the area
I don't know about other venues, but Sochi's stadium, as well as all over Olympic facilities in the city, are doing perfectly fine. What you see in the video is the modification of the stadium after the Olympics (they are adding a roof to it) to prepare it for the football championship. This dud clearly does not know what he is talking about
I live up in the East Midlands and haven been to London since 2018 and I know that the stadiums there look like back on TV and on Mario and sonic at the London 2012 Olympics games fingers crossed Tokyo dosen’t go down the other tracks as the other places
This video is ridiculously sensationalist, I live in the London Olympic Park, all the venues are used or reimagined into new uses, all the housing is fully occupied and one of East London’s most desirable neighbourhoods, the graffiti they refer to is an extremely hip artist district full of new and desirable housing, because of this artistic character. What a poorly researched video.

I can't believe those places used to be so dilapidated. Without the video, my great-grandson would not have known what was inside those places. unbelievable. Thank you very much.
The Cape Town stadium that was shown in the intro was never a Olympic stadium... It was built for the FIFA world cup. It is currently still in use and is used as a home ground for local football and rugby teams.
Today I learned that The Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships are held in Finland, and one winner said he prepared for the event by "mainly drinking." what a guy.
Riddled with innacuratacies, mis labeled buildings, the crumbling atlanta baseball stadium was a picture of the stadium demolished prior to the games. Can tell by the American accent.
It seemed that this guy would it to be exactly like in 1936, he's making a fool of himself. Maybe he also forgot the war like he forgot the one that destroyed Sarajevo. As usual, some random American who never had a minute of world history.
I live in Atlanta and the mis-information/untruths about the ATL are staggering. All credibility for this sensationalist channel flys out the window along with the facts. Just stop.
Some of the Atlanta info is incorrect. The tennis center was demolished. The torch cauldron is just fine and I fact was relit last yr for marathon trials. And the lake Lanier facility is still looking great. And the crumbling stadium was the old Fulton County stadium that was no longer in use. It was imploded and made into a parking lot.
The reference to the Olympic stadium in Atlanta is incorrect. The image the video showed was of Atlanta Fulton County stadium being imploded AFTER the Olympics were completed and the Braves moved to the Olympic stadium to be used as their home field.
Sydney did an amazing job repurposing their Olympic venues. Their Olympic Park is beautiful still 20 years later and is home to a lot of businesses and residential areas. They still use the facilities for big sporting events and open spaces for events like the Royal Sydney Easter Show every year.
Australia's 2000 Olympics was designed specifically for reuse. The stadiums were adjusted slightly and get reused a lot for regular sporting activities. Most of the accommodation used for the athletes and officials were sold before the games actually happened.
I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago and even though it’s closed for corona Olympic park is in good condition, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t just abandon everything
The Centennial Olympic Stadium from 1996 games was used by Atlanta Braves until they moved. Now it was brought by Georgia State University and they converted it to a football stadium. Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics is currently being used for training purposes. Everything from 1984 games are still in use. Granted a lot of it is either UCLA or USC stadium before the games.
The stadiums were adjusted slightly and get reused a lot for regular sporting activities. Most of the accommodation used for the athletes and officials were sold before the games actually happened. Thank you very much for sharing it, it helped me a lot
Japan has been doing a great job in accommodating athletes from all around the world. I hope they do not put all of that work into waste because I know Japan is a very resourceful country.
This video is very negative about past Olympic stadiums. However where the 2000 olympics were held in Sydney lots of sports game are still played today rugby, soccer, concerts you name it. All of the facilities are still used and believe or not the swimming centre is now a public recreation area.
What derelict buildings are there in London from the Olympics? And them houses that were from the Olympic village already had plans for a big development in that whole area which was built after the Olympics so what your showing isn’t there anymore and it was not a common sight
"Next stop, Turin" *proceeds to show pictures of Florence and South Italian Pizza from Naples Also, buildings in Turin are not abandoned...they are mostly used for sports and events such as concerts and expos
The stadium you show being demolished in Atlanta is what was Fulton County Stadium that was built in 1965 and used until 1997. It was always meant to become a parking lot after the Olympic Games. Centennial Olympic Stadium was right next to it and after the Olympics The Braves used that stadium until 2017. It still is being used to this day as the football stadium for Georgia College which is downtown.
Maracanã Stadium in Brazil is the biggest and most functioning stadium in use since it's constrution in 1950 till nowadays. I don't know where did you get this information. It host the most of the soccer games in Brazil. and the landfill is a contruction site to the future Rio F1 circuit since 2018. The olympic park host big events like rock in Rio and lollapalooza every year, 700k ppl every day during the 7 days of the event only in rock in rio. Its far from being abandom.
México’s 68 facilities are all in full use, the stadium is used by a pro soccer team, and the Olimpic city became part of the campus of a top university, the village and other facilities like the olimpic pool are still being used for training and competitions
Just recently I realized that the "Arena Revolución" that was used for wrestling competitions was transformed to a Gas station... Maybe is the only demolished venue. And apart of trainig and competitions the Alberca and Gimnasio Olímpicos have been used to apply for prepa and university exams. I remember being in line to apply for the UAM exam at the moment of the April 25th, 1989 earthquake. The line went downstairs, but nobody abandoned the line.
Maracanã is not left in ruins! It is still used for our local championships by Flamengo and Fluminense teams, and hosted two Copa America and one Libertadores finals!
The Olympic village in Atlanta are being used as college dorms and a bunch of the Olympic sports facilities are in full use and have been redone so they could be used as anything from baseball stadiums, football stadiums, and even college recreation centers and that picture of Olympic cauldron is from when they were demolishing it to make a parking lot
Unfortunately you haven't done a good research..As for Athens, I live there so I know, much of the venues you showed are located in an area where a huge park+commercial and residential area are going to be structured.Also the photos of the Athens Olympic complex do not represent its current state, since all of these venues are in use. However yes there are still some abandoned venues, since Olympics need so many, and for sure we should still use them for our pleasure.
The common thing in all of the mentioned ghostly towns are apartments that were built for athletes. Why not making them houses for people who are homeless and let them find shelter. 😟
These places could be converted into schools or even public recreational centers. But no, they abandon the place because there is no money to be made from them afterwards... I see a lot of potential uses for them.
The amount of absolute BS in this video is remarkable! To link the 1948 games to the 2012 games is ridiculous. The images used are also widely inaccurate.
Agreed I've been to Stratford twice post Olympics, and no venue or the village is abandoned, this video is hugely inaccurate. Sure there's a lot of construction still ongoing in the area but nothing abandoned.
How does this whole bitcoin thing work, I'm interested in it and I'm willing and ready to invest heavily in it but I'm gonna need an assistant from any trusted and productive professional
I was in Sarajevo (who hosted the 194 Winter Olympics) in 2004...the stadiums were destroyed, the sculptures were vandalized, and the Olympic buildings were shells...but the worst part was that the main Olympic area was turned into a graveyard for children killed during the Bosnian war...
There is some major information missing from this video. Berlin’s 1936 village had been abandoned as it was seen as an exercise in Nazi propaganda. However the athletes village is about to be torn down or converted into luxury accommodation. The 1984 Sarajevo structures are in ruins due to a civil war that took place after then games. London used existing buildings and only built what could have a second life. I believe the only things to be torn down were the two story McDonalds and the basketball arena. The stadium, aquatics centre, velodrome, and copper box arena are still in use. The athletes houses have either been redeveloped or are in the process of being so. I believe most of Sochi’s Olympic venues are also in use. Hell they built a race track around their Olympic buildings!
Thats what olympics do only money for for those months using public money to build these stuff but none of the money made goes back to the public. Nice ey

It would seem politicians dont care about low income ppl, homeless or just having homes for anyone in need? I mean shit so much could have been done with it all. Shame.
Quite a superficial video, it’s like you just searched abandoned olimpic places on google and cut the first pictures you got together without knowing anything about the location. First of all bring up berlin Olympic area from 1936, wehre the most parts of the area (including the old stadium) are still in use after more than 80 years and one world war. Then London where the most locations are reused too. But the king of ignorance for me ist to talk about Sarajevo not even mentioned the war crimes happen her as key reason for the abandoned olimpic area.
Sochi Olympic Stadium was converted into a football/soccer-specific stadium for the 2018 World Cup and now it plays host to PFC Sochi in the Russian Premier League with capacity crowds
just think about these being repurposed as football stadiums, swimming pools, gyms etc. they could even be used as e-sports arenas with the massive screens. such an enormous waste. even if the countries sold them at 10% of what they cost to build, they could turn massive revenue streams for a very long time.
The Olympic village in Stratford London is in full use, the athletes accommodation is now public housing and the stadium is now used by West Ham United football club. They also turned the whole area into an amazing city park 👍🏼

Yeah, and Brisbane is also right next to Sydney and Melbourne. You can reuse those old Olympic venues from 2000 and 1956.
The world thanks Brisbane and Australia for hosting 2032 Games. We need countries to spend more money than ever on sporting events, in order to boast the world economy.
@@antoniokawarski6111 No, we don't need more spending. We just need hosts that are actually prepared, and for the IOC to support said hosts instead of leaving Tokyo to rot solely so they can mooch off of them.
@@gabetalks9275 Brisbane right next to Melbourne? Not really, it's 1,800km away. It would like hosting the Olympics in London and then using facilities in Rome, that's how far away it is from Brisbane.
In Sarajevo’s defence, the war in the former Yugoslavia played a big role in the damage and neglect of the venues.
the worst part was that brazil tried to make this country so desirable that they covered the favelas (slums) with a wall of sort so that tourists coming out of the country’s airport can’t see those slums
🥺🥺😢
Wall is still there
Id rather go to a favela then a rich venue anytime.
india also did the same thing when Trump came
😂😂😂😂😂😂
a lot of this is a load of bs, governments have reused most venues and redeveloped them. getting sick of these you tubers spruiking crap just to get views
this guy doesnt know what hes talking about regarding london 2012 , the olympic park and buildings are not abandoned
yeah I literally went there last year, it's still as great as I remember it, they even added new stuff there. It's worth checking out if you're ever in the area
I don't know about other venues, but Sochi's stadium, as well as all over Olympic facilities in the city, are doing perfectly fine. What you see in the video is the modification of the stadium after the Olympics (they are adding a roof to it) to prepare it for the football championship. This dud clearly does not know what he is talking about
@@draxsnider3432 what?
Sarajevo was abandoned due to a war so that's slightly more understandable
London 2012 was all renewable and every building is in use today, the ones which aren’t weren’t permanent and we’re only pop up for the events
I live up in the East Midlands and haven been to London since 2018 and I know that the stadiums there look like back on TV and on Mario and sonic at the London 2012 Olympics games fingers crossed Tokyo dosen’t go down the other tracks as the other places
This video is ridiculously sensationalist, I live in the London Olympic Park, all the venues are used or reimagined into new uses, all the housing is fully occupied and one of East London’s most desirable neighbourhoods, the graffiti they refer to is an extremely hip artist district full of new and desirable housing, because of this artistic character. What a poorly researched video.
Hes talking aboyt the 1948 olympics dumbass

@@MrxSledy he also talked about 2012
I can't believe those places used to be so dilapidated. Without the video, my great-grandson would not have known what was inside those places. unbelievable. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Cape Town stadium that was shown in the intro was never a Olympic stadium... It was built for the FIFA world cup. It is currently still in use and is used as a home ground for local football and rugby teams.
It would be better if they made a permanent Olympic village with all facilities in Greece.
yeah, I mean they are the founders of the olympics after all
Makes sense
@@madisonbusby7324 no that place is a slum
@@jamesgentry13 How do you know it’s a slum? Have you ever visited?
Today I learned that The Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships are held in Finland, and one winner said he prepared for the event by "mainly drinking." what a guy.
Ok i wont visit ur channel
Riddled with innacuratacies, mis labeled buildings, the crumbling atlanta baseball stadium was a picture of the stadium demolished prior to the games. Can tell by the American accent.
The olympic village in Munich Germany is in full use . I live there and I love it. ❤️
It seemed that this guy would it to be exactly like in 1936, he's making a fool of himself. Maybe he also forgot the war like he forgot the one that destroyed Sarajevo. As usual, some random American who never had a minute of world history.
I live in Atlanta and the mis-information/untruths about the ATL are staggering. All credibility for this sensationalist channel flys out the window along with the facts. Just stop.
no fr.
Some of the Atlanta info is incorrect.
The tennis center was demolished. The torch cauldron is just fine and I fact was relit last yr for marathon trials. And the lake Lanier facility is still looking great. And the crumbling stadium was the old Fulton County stadium that was no longer in use. It was imploded and made into a parking lot.
Ah!! Thank you for correcting. I also made a similar observation

Maracanã is heavily used: soccer games are hosted there almost every week since 1950. As for the Olympic Boulevard, indeed: it is under-used.
The reference to the Olympic stadium in Atlanta is incorrect. The image the video showed was of Atlanta Fulton County stadium being imploded AFTER the Olympics were completed and the Braves moved to the Olympic stadium to be used as their home field.
Sydney did an amazing job repurposing their Olympic venues. Their Olympic Park is beautiful still 20 years later and is home to a lot of businesses and residential areas. They still use the facilities for big sporting events and open spaces for events like the Royal Sydney Easter Show every year.
Australia's 2000 Olympics was designed specifically for reuse. The stadiums were adjusted slightly and get reused a lot for regular sporting activities. Most of the accommodation used for the athletes and officials were sold before the games actually happened.
its fantastic video showing Olympic Abandon Building , thanks a lot for your review
Atlanta still uses most of the former Olympic buildings. Georgia Tech converted the athlete housing to student housing .
It was basically on their property anyway but yes
Also if I remeber right athletes used the campus to train
I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago and even though it’s closed for corona Olympic park is in good condition, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t just abandon everything
The Centennial Olympic Stadium from 1996 games was used by Atlanta Braves until they moved. Now it was brought by Georgia State University and they converted it to a football stadium. Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics is currently being used for training purposes. Everything from 1984 games are still in use. Granted a lot of it is either UCLA or USC stadium before the games.

Incredible how you have so much pictures of buildings that have absolutely nothing to do with the narrative.

Japan has been doing a great job in accommodating athletes from all around the world. I hope they do not put all of that work into waste because I know Japan is a very resourceful country.
In Australia the facilities are continued to be used to this day as sports stadiums and places to hold concerts and other events
This video is very negative about past Olympic stadiums. However where the 2000 olympics were held in Sydney lots of sports game are still played today rugby, soccer, concerts you name it. All of the facilities are still used and believe or not the swimming centre is now a public recreation area.
Hahaha massive voice crack at 0:12
What derelict buildings are there in London from the Olympics? And them houses that were from the Olympic village already had plans for a big development in that whole area which was built after the Olympics so what your showing isn’t there anymore and it was not a common sight
Very Good Research 🖤
"Next stop, Turin"
*proceeds to show pictures of Florence and South Italian Pizza from Naples
Also, buildings in Turin are not abandoned...they are mostly used for sports and events such as concerts and expos
Also showing perfectly fine apartments with people on it calling it drammatically „abandoned ghost town“
The stadium you show being demolished in Atlanta is what was Fulton County Stadium that was built in 1965 and used until 1997. It was always meant to become a parking lot after the Olympic Games. Centennial Olympic Stadium was right next to it and after the Olympics The Braves used that stadium until 2017. It still is being used to this day as the football stadium for Georgia College which is downtown.
I know right? Silliness… they need to do their research
So…the ballpark in Atlanta you showed wasn’t it just sitting there, that was a demolition…
The 2016 competition pool was removed from the building and moved to a sports club and is in use.
This is a amazing information about aabandoned places of Olympic. Video editing was amazing. Thank you. I liked this video.
Australia and Sydney ❤️ we respect
Maracanã Stadium in Brazil is the biggest and most functioning stadium in use since it's constrution in 1950 till nowadays. I don't know where did you get this information. It host the most of the soccer games in Brazil. and the landfill is a contruction site to the future Rio F1 circuit since 2018. The olympic park host big events like rock in Rio and lollapalooza every year, 700k ppl every day during the 7 days of the event only in rock in rio. Its far from being abandom.
After reading the comments, I realized I just wasted 10 minutes of my life watching this video, full of misinformation. It is a shame.
México’s 68 facilities are all in full use, the stadium is used by a pro soccer team, and the Olimpic city became part of the campus of a top university, the village and other facilities like the olimpic pool are still being used for training and competitions
Just recently I realized that the "Arena Revolución" that was used for wrestling competitions was transformed to a Gas station... Maybe is the only demolished venue. And apart of trainig and competitions the Alberca and Gimnasio Olímpicos have been used to apply for prepa and university exams. I remember being in line to apply for the UAM exam at the moment of the April 25th, 1989 earthquake. The line went downstairs, but nobody abandoned the line.
theirs a race track at the sochi olympic park that hosts formula racing every year it’s hated by most fans but it’s still used
Now that I’m looking at this, really grateful toward japan for taking a much more sustainable approach to their olympics.
Maracanã is not left in ruins! It is still used for our local championships by Flamengo and Fluminense teams, and hosted two Copa America and one Libertadores finals!
That's simply not true in regards to London. Every single building is in use and Olympic stadium is occupied by football club.
The Olympic village in Atlanta are being used as college dorms and a bunch of the Olympic sports facilities are in full use and have been redone so they could be used as anything from baseball stadiums, football stadiums, and even college recreation centers and that picture of Olympic cauldron is from when they were demolishing it to make a parking lot
I think the venues for 1984 Los Angeles are still in use. Salt Lake City still using everything.
Unfortunately you haven't done a good research..As for Athens, I live there so I know, much of the venues you showed are located in an area where a huge park+commercial and residential area are going to be structured.Also the photos of the Athens Olympic complex do not represent its current state, since all of these venues are in use. However yes there are still some abandoned venues, since Olympics need so many, and for sure we should still use them for our pleasure.
The criticism of London is iffy to say the least. Stratford is full, and the vast amount of buildings from 1948 were not built for the Olympics.
The common thing in all of the mentioned ghostly towns are apartments that were built for athletes. Why not making them houses for people who are homeless and let them find shelter. 😟
impressive how so many countries have left everything abandoned
These places could be converted into schools or even public recreational centers. But no, they abandon the place because there is no money to be made from them afterwards...
I see a lot of potential uses for them.
Exactly💯
Nice video and interesting facts. great work
This is like the old Russian Shuttles left in the hanger to rot.
It breaks my heart to see these stadiums abandon. Do a video on abandon military experimental vehicles.
The amount of absolute BS in this video is remarkable! To link the 1948 games to the 2012 games is ridiculous. The images used are also widely inaccurate.
Agreed I've been to Stratford twice post Olympics, and no venue or the village is abandoned, this video is hugely inaccurate. Sure there's a lot of construction still ongoing in the area but nothing abandoned.
I think it's fun to hangout in these abandoned buildings. thanks for touring us
Citizens: Umm you could let the homeless live there
City Officials: Umm...no
At least Vancouver and London’s Olympic venues are still being used. Vancouver’s cauldron sometimes gets re-lit
A large portion of the Olympic venues in Calgary are still being used in one formmor another.
Same as montreal
2:22 Lol Sofi Stadium?
And the fact that LA is actually using the stadium for NFL makes it even more confusing
I'm so glad the Olympics will not be held here in Boston.
Yup

For real it's very profitable
How does this whole bitcoin thing work, I'm interested in it and I'm willing and ready to invest heavily in it but I'm gonna need an assistant from any trusted and productive professional
You don't really need someone to tell you how to invest your coins, you can make research on your own and also try doing it yourself first.

I think it’s a valid argument that the market is doing exceedingly well too for this week a relative to it’s past
I was in Sarajevo (who hosted the 194 Winter Olympics) in 2004...the stadiums were destroyed, the sculptures were vandalized, and the Olympic buildings were shells...but the worst part was that the main Olympic area was turned into a graveyard for children killed during the Bosnian war...
There is some major information missing from this video. Berlin’s 1936 village had been abandoned as it was seen as an exercise in Nazi propaganda. However the athletes village is about to be torn down or converted into luxury accommodation. The 1984 Sarajevo structures are in ruins due to a civil war that took place after then games.
London used existing buildings and only built what could have a second life. I believe the only things to be torn down were the two story McDonalds and the basketball arena. The stadium, aquatics centre, velodrome, and copper box arena are still in use. The athletes houses have either been redeveloped or are in the process of being so. I believe most of Sochi’s Olympic venues are also in use. Hell they built a race track around their Olympic buildings!
Sensational video to show the reality of what is happening with the abandonment of Olympic buildings!! Very good video!
Thats what olympics do only money for for those months using public money to build these stuff but none of the money made goes back to the public. Nice ey

Isnt the former Olympic Village now a prision?
Seems like Vancouver 2010 games transformed the best after the Olympics
This is the best detailed video that I have ever seen....... Very detailed information you have shared with us ....iluke your channel so much....
The section about London is a complete lie. The park is still in use and the stadium is being used by West Ham united.
West ham is a piece of shit
Same photo is used for Atlanta and Rio...
Quite a superficial video, it’s like you just searched abandoned olimpic places on google and cut the first pictures you got together without knowing anything about the location. First of all bring up berlin Olympic area from 1936, wehre the most parts of the area (including the old stadium) are still in use after more than 80 years and one world war. Then London where the most locations are reused too. But the king of ignorance for me ist to talk about Sarajevo not even mentioned the war crimes happen her as key reason for the abandoned olimpic area.
Sochi Olympic Stadium was converted into a football/soccer-specific stadium for the 2018 World Cup and now it plays host to PFC Sochi in the Russian Premier League with capacity crowds
0:21 - 2:21 I don’t remember SoFi Stadium being abandoned
They also turned the whole area into an amazing city park.... Thank you for sharing....
just think about these being repurposed as football stadiums, swimming pools, gyms etc. they could even be used as e-sports arenas with the massive screens. such an enormous waste. even if the countries sold them at 10% of what they cost to build, they could turn massive revenue streams for a very long time.
