Abandoned Olympic Venues: th-cam.com/video/sq31KnJaJs0/w-d-xo.html
To me the most heartbreaking of the abandoned venues has to be Sarajevo because you can see what impact potentially the Yugoslav war had on the venues.
I completely agree
Yes,shows it starkly.
Indeed.
I find Rio the most shocking. They only hosted the Olympics 6 years ago, but the venues have gone to ruin very quickly. Even some of Sarajevo’s venues look better, and they hosted the Winter Olympics 38 years ago AND the city was caught up in the war when Yugoslavia split up in the early 90s, but some parts still look better than Rio’s facilities.
*Actually the City of Rio de Janeiro was not prepared to host the Olympic Games back then, and they use the event itself to mask the reality that Brazil was envolved in complete mess. When the game was over and all politics envolved on business got profit from this event, they just abandoned these venues because they would not get more money from it. In other words, Brazilian politics just use this event to get profit.*
the video has old photos, because the olympic swimming pool is in the city of Salvador being used and most of the tennis arenas were temporary there are none more in the place, so the video does not correspond to reality
And they moved thousands of people to build those stadium...
@@j.h.2110 Can you write in Spanish?
@@mitsuomatsuyama2415 você conhece língua portuguesa
Really sucks that so much money is spent on these Olympics just for the venues afterward to be wasted. Places should really submit a post-Olympic plan when submitting bids to confirm the viability of a location for continuing summer and winter sports after its usage. Rio is certainly an example of this, just put the country of Brazil into a further economic disaster leading up to the games just for a lot of the venues to be completely abandoned
Or better yet, realize the notion of "legacy" doesn't help whatsoever and utilize temporary and existing infrastructure as much as possible.
@@bluegold1026 That's usually not possible. Because each sport has different specifications it's really hard to account for everything. i.e where is the seated beach volleyball court in LA?
@@brodypearlman6034 Au contraire. Beach volleyball for London 2012 took place at the Horse Guards Parade. For LA 2028, aquatics will take place at a temporary site on top of a college baseball stadium. In fact, all of LA 2028's venues are either existing, temporary or were going to be built regardless. This is the way to go!
It would also help to make some sports to be put on an optional list so cities can pick and choose what is best for them.
Brazilian economic Crysis started before 2016 Olympic games, it's was the biggest corruption system of all time made by the leftist party
What happened to the baseball and softball venues at the 2004 Olympics in Athens is part of why they were stopped being included in the Games in London 2012 (unless the host country is a baseball/softball country). For Sydney 2000, the Aussies found use for their baseball venue for the popular Australian Football League and a cricket league. For Beijing 2008, the field was temporary.
In the case of the Greeks, a football club Ethnikos Piraeus did move into the baseball stadium for a bit three years after the Games, but that only lasted seven years. So now the Hellinikon Complex (which is also home to the field hockey and canoe slalom venues at 5:24 and in the thumbnail respectively) is rotting away, housing refugees. And it's pretty clear from Google Maps that the complex was built on an abandoned airport (the airport was closed to build the bigger Athens International). Literally one of the paths to the venues was once a runway. So ironically, both the international airport that was closed for the Games and now the sports complex that replaced it, are both abandoned until the Hellenikon Metropolitan Park is done
If a country is not a baseball country they should use this venue as temporary
England smashed it with theirs. Stratford is becoming one of the most exciting places in London.
Yeah, some guys here said that too. The Rio pics look like 20+ years since the Olympics there but in fact it's less than six years. Wow.
Everybody in Brazil knew this will happen, only the mainstream media was talking about legacy, the people knew it they will abandoned the venues like they did
Makes so much sense to use one location and have it there all the time.
But would be boring...
@@Noah2800 not really shit if the world used a island and dedicated it to that it would be dope
Or take London example using temporary Venues and developing legacy plans of venues
@@tweet86 this video proves that doesn't work in 3rd world countries
Or take Sydney's example and reuse them
Putting any venue at the Atlanta olympics is a bit disengenuous, they highlight Herndon Stadium, but the reason that stadium is abandoned is that the College it belonged(Morris Brown Colleges, a HBC) to fell on hard times(embezellment), and had to shutter its program. The stadium had existed for five decades before the Atlanta games.
1956 Cortina Ski Jump venues still looks good today. They may use it again in the next Winter Olympics.
As well as the Bobsled track in Cortina might get a full renovation in time for the 2026 Olympics
They renovate the jump (tower) as an landmark and use the stadium beneath for other events (like football / soccer), but the profile of this ski jump is outdated (since 1990). Also they move the competitions to Val die Fiemme / Predazzo. The jumps there are in a good shape, as they are used for national championships, NC World Cups, Continental Cups and World Cup. Last time in Jan 2020.
The "Italia" is an icon (First WC-Competition ever in 1979), but since the profile is not up-to-date and the Italian federation isn't the richest, its unlikely that this jump will host any competition. I hope, that some of the historic hills will return (e.g. St. Moritz (also an olympic hill (1928 and 1948) or even newer ones like Whistler (2010) to the calender, but its very unlikely.)) It would be great if they would restore the hill and held an competition in 2029 / 2030 (50th World Cup season), but i think this will stay as a dream.
The last Olympics, whose ski jump is still active and frequently used (international!) is Lillehammer 1994 and its hills are used every season. Courchevel (Albertville 1992) and Hakuba (Nagano 1998) are also used, but more often in summer. All olympic hills after 1998 are only used for national competions or even closed / demolished (Torino 2006 - hills in Pragelato).
The bobsled tracks are another story, because the season is shorter and there are only some active. The chance for reactivation in Cortina and its use in future is higher.
They are IIRC still using all the facilities built in Calgary for the 1988 winter games.
In Russia, all Olympic venues have been in use since the 2014 Olympics
In Brazil os the opposite, they use the Olympic center to make parties, but most of venues are abandoned
So they can compete against themselves?
That's shocking to see Athens, Beijing and Rio's venues to fall apart years after. Where the money is gone after that ?
As a Frenchman, I don't think it would be the same end for Paris's venues in 2024 : largely most of them are already existing and there is an immense reservoir of sportsmen and sportswomen in the region (watch about football, basketball, or even table tennis).
Paris is ideas are sound. Let's use temporary stands for the stuff you don't have ie: beach volleyball.
@@MrSlaidback Like we did in London.
Given the rapid fire way Olympic facilities are constructed, and the intentionally temporary nature of many of them, it's a wonder they're still standing at all.
Well done London.
This could all be easily avoided. Cutting down on the number of sports would help, not to mention utilizing already existing venues and temporary venues whenever possible. Looks no further that LA 2028 as a prime example.
Or Sydney
It's sad that Sarajevo went from a prosperous city in 1984 to a crumbled warzone in 1994...all it took was a decade and it's all thanks to nasty ethnic conflict. And the podium bottom of their ski jump...was used to eliminate innocent civilians. While the bobsled track was used for a Serb artillery position. Crazy
Notice how Sydney, Los Angeles, London, nor Vancouver aren't featured here at all. That's because the venues in these places are still maintained and in use. And Los Angeles 1984 were the first Summer Olympics since 1932 to make a profit. Now the second most profitable after Seoul 1988
That's because Sydney's main stadium is now used as a football stadium
One thing i noticed is,mother nature comebacks
Barcelona es una de las excepciones en el aprovechamiento de las instalaciones
It's not complicated, have the Olympics in Athens every four years and all National Organising Committees, combined with all the TV companies, pay a fee for the upkeep of the stadiums and the cost of running things during games time.
What ? Only onlympics in Athens?
"It's not complicated"
except it is because part of the reason it's still held in different cities is to boost tourism for those cities. If the Olympics is held in just one city, especially in a bankrupt one like Athens, it wouldn't profit tourism wise. Plus the Olympics also helps improve infrastructure in those cities. Can't do that if it's just one
Also Athens is very much not a winter sports city lol so you gotta find a different place for the Winter Olympics, dum-dum
@@wdwfanatic1394 Also, the Olympics is about internationality. And what's less international than a single city having it. That's really stupid
@@svis6888 Exactly
You realize the reason the Athens Olympics were dead was because all the Greeks left to go to holiday in other countries when the Olympics were on. The people didn’t want it
Tfc is the my favourite you tube channel
I believe I read somewhere, however I could be wrong, that Athens was told to build all temporary venues, that way they could be sold after. And they didn’t.
This is so sad and Disrespectful how can they let these venues go like this 😪 unbelievable 😪 and heart Braking
It's so unfair to include Sarajevo in this list, the war ruined the whole country and had to be rebuild.
Life's not fair.
Some of them still look great some of the ski jumps look good
Why Baseball was included in the 2004 Athens Olympics is a mystery. Any one with common sense knows Baseball will never be popular in Greece.
And don't forget the badminton tho, that sport was also included in 1992 Barcelona Olympics , some people say badminton was asian sport, because about 95% champions were from Asia especially China and Indonesia, and for the european people feels like why this sport was even included on olympic games
This baseball stadium(4:15) was changed into football field and used by Ethnikos Pireaus FC after the Olympics for about a decate, it remained in a good shape, more stands were added. Too bad they left it, I dont know why they prefered to stay homeless
@@h_crow221 Badminton was invented in England. And I wonder if the Danish are included in your "European people" to be supposedly complaining about it.
And you complain about these handful of Asian-dominated sports, while ignoring the majority of other sports which are all Western-dominated?
So they could made a temporary venues instead of maintenance a venue that they know they will not use
Really interesting these clips but really sad- venues once the centre of attention, now old news.
Parte el alma ver las sedes olímpicas en pleno abandonó, por suerte las sedes olímpicas de México 68 están bien cuidados ya se usan para todo tipo de deportes
es por que varias instalaciones se hicieron dentro de ciudad universitaria y debido a que el gobierno del país no presupuesta mucho para el deporte que se utilizan las pocas instalaciones deportivas que quedan y así ahorrar menos costos, como en otros paises donde como EEUU hay estadios deportivos que se abandonan por que se construyen nuevos.
Atlanta took me by surprise
This is why certain countries refused or later on pulled out from bidding to be the host of major sports such as Olympics, World Cup. Some of the sports played in Olympic have not being a common sport played by people of certain countries. For example, Greece wasn't notable for their baseball and we can see why. Countries must be able to consider a lot of things before planning to be the host for Olympics and other major sporting events globally.
Atlanta one is truly shocking
It's really only Herndon Stadium, and that's because it belongs to the college. The Atlanta Olympic Park still looks great, overall
This place was once a F1 racetrack
the video has old photos, because the olympic swimming pool is in the city of Salvador being used and most of the tennis arenas were temporary there are none more in the place, so the video does not correspond to reality
Tennis arena is still there, she received recently a tennis Davis cup match between Brazil x Germany, Zverev played there
@@Thiago-vk8kx I referred to the small temporary tennis courts, but the main arena is still alive
To think the pyramids in Egypt are better kept than these.....pure commercial greed
And to think, athletes will remember their record breaking attenpts in garages like these
Notice how there was none from London 2012. In London they could probably have built a stadium, knocked it down and then sold on the land, all at a profit.
They had a few temporary additional venues and installations.
Sarajevo 🇧🇦
Music gives abandonment vibes
You are just showing winter stadiums at summer. Genius
I never get why they don't maintain these venues to train their own athletes of the future - and attract international sporting events annually.
why didnt they continue to use the facilities especially in athens, beijing and rio? they are all new structures and in crowded cities, at least the governments can rent the facilities to firms to operate them
Very sad to watch😥.. these beautiful structures.. a gift to these countries and they don't seem to utilize the space or turn it into a botanical garden or something to memorialize its use once upon a Time.. something anything use it for youth programs 😟
Such a waste of sources!!! Hate it. Why can not by Olympic hold in several cities in one country? In every country there are cities which can use this structures long time after Olympic. All it takes is to change the rules and not set olympic in one city but in whole country. For example swimming will be in city A, athletics in city B, etc. So local people can use buildings and structures after the main event is done. Promote the specific sports and made it a local attraction for tourists.This would make more sense to me.
That's what's happening for Brisbane 2032
The Olympics have expanded so much over time that I suppose it must be a much greater financial and logistical undertaking to host them than a century ago.
This is why LA is getting the Olympics in 2028. They really aren't building any new venues. The ones they are using are being utilized by pro and college sports teams and will continue to afterwards. They even have a velodrome left over from the 1984 Olympics that's been used for decades as a national training facility.
That's because USA is great at Sports Facility. Every arena/stadium is a Multi Purpose Venue. They can use their NFL Stadium into Football Pitch, Or their NBA Arenas can converted to Volleyball/Gymnastics/Wrestling
*laughs in all Vancouver 2010 winter Olympic venues still being actively used*
The fact that this abandoned with most of the time some of the objects/materials of JO is making me mad ! Like why they do nothing to maybe renovate it or just use it or making like museum or something with nature etc ??
How come they are mostly Athens, Beijing and Rio? (can understand Sarajevo). Interestingly no Seoul, Sydney and London - have they done the games right and the others wrong?
Greek financial crisis. No idea aboug Beijing but they have entire cities built that are virtually empty. Rio, they also vastly oversold what they could deliver and then maintain. And i know there are now some venues to where it's not cost effective to maintain them for maybe one use a year. So they let it rot.
London have reused all their venues. some other venues are temporary and have been dismantled
video has old photos, because olympic pool is northeast of Brazil in the city of Salvador being used and most of the tennis arenas were temporary there is none, so video does not correspond to reality
I'm Brazilian and I live in Rio and I can say the Rio Olympics games were wrongly made, but everybody knew this will happen, only our mainstream media was talking that we will have a legacy
@@j.h.2110 Rio has a Olympic pool but we don't used, she still there
Difficile de ne pas 'penser que les JO, finalement, c'est beaucoup d'argent jeté par les fenêtres.
C'est un gaspillage honteux.
@@sylvaindore3190
Un honteux gaspillage.
What a cool skate spot in athens
yeah dude
The problem with a big event like the Olympics. A lot of stadiums that you don't have any use for afterwards
en rio 2016, ese estadio cubierto piscina olímpica de natación podría ser remodelada a una arena de Futbol indoor o Futsal o uno de Hockey Hielo para atraer partidos de la NHL en Brasil
en el caso de atenas, Seria hacer un Open de tenis reemplazando la piscina olímpica con una cancha de tenis
Such a shame. They work so hard to build these places for the Olympics and then after they’re done, they take an “I don’t give a fuck” approach to their future use.
Because building these venues are nothing but vanity projects. It also doesn't help that the locals don't care for many of these type of sports to generate any interest to keep these sites in use. Sadly only a few nations such as the U.S. has that kind of staying power from within the population for either recreational or professional sports.
Sarajevo looks great for skateboarders
Uma parte sabia que as olimpíadas no Rio, a longo prazo, quebraria as contas da cidade e do estado. Hoje eles tentam conservar algumas arenas olímpicas e fazer escolas com a estrutura, mas ainda sim o resto foi tudo abandonado as traças
The fact these host cities have to build expensive and obsolete infrastructure like the artificial kayaking/canoe course just to appease these sports in getting Olympic recognition is beyond stupid. The IOC should cut down on the sports little people care about that costs a mint just to appease a few people.
2:10 such a pity
2:51 What is that stadium?
Alonzo Herndon Stadium.
The best reason for you to go multi national and bring more stadiums business.. every single river of every single village on this planet fans, keep them war lords busy doing better things, such as sports competitions, what a wonderful world this could be fans
Please note no London or Los Angeles venues
to be fair to the Sarajevo pictures the old ones looked like it was in winter while the new pictures were in the summer without natural snow everywhere, making it overall look worse
Also to be fair, Sarajevo was a war zone
I think we need to rebuild those to fix it
Come on. The Cortina d'Ampezzo 1956 Olympics area is in way better condition than the 2004, 2008, and 2016 Olympics area.
Sarajevo😥
Lol it's pretty bad.
@@purplerabbit638 true
Author of welknown Olymphic's Snowflake, symbol of Sarajevo Winter Olympic Games '84 :
Miroslav Antonic - Roko (1932 - 1980)❤️ !
This is sad to see. They should simply have 1 location for winter and 1 location for summer olympics or maybe 2 locations each and thats it. You look at all these places and its simply abandoned because many sports arent played alot except for olympics for many of these host nations. Look at Atlanta and they couldnt keep a baseball stadium going.
Si las olimpiadas de atenas 2004, dejo a grecia en la ruina
Nothing last forever
Nature takes everything back after just a few years. The day will come when nothing on this planet will remind us that people once lived on it...
What about Olympic Stadium in Montreal?
I have said for 30 year two site's
must be Picked in North America for Winter and Summer Game with all country's that compete paying for there up keep.
Why don’t they transform the venues into sports centers or training centers.p? Such a waste of money….
cela montre le problème de construire des installations dans des pays où certains sports ne sont pas démocratisés et du coup la réutilisation des installations non prévus, au japon pour les épreuves de tokyo et du coup pour les épreuves de paris étant donné que les deux pays (france et japon) sont présent partout les installations seront toujours utilisables
I have to wonder are the ones in Sarajevo just from the passage of time, or is that a result of the war?
it is a result of war , there are actually some other ruins of venues in the forests which can be accessed because they are still mined.
content not available unless I update the app. go feel yaself
*Wooow*
London 2012 seems unscathed.
Isn't part of your bid supposed to include how the venues will be used after the Olympics are over? Why doesn't it happen unless the games are being held in North America (Shatlanta could've used them but the games were a disaster before the opening ceremonies anyway)?
Need to ask questions about how the failures of Rio and Beijing wasnt seem. Can’t be picking a city if every single legacy aspect has a perfect plan like London
The music makes me sad
It just confirms to me that public funding of the Olympics is a colossal waste of money, time and resources.
What's the point of building a baseball stadium in Europe. ''???.
Oh maybe because its the Olympics and there are over 100 countries where baseball is played. Believe it or not, baseball is played in Italy and in the Netherlands. They even have teams represented in the Little league World Series and the World Baseball Classic. There are probably 30 nations with professional baseball leagues on every continent with exception to Africa.
I blame the host cities for not thinking outside the box to keep up with the venues. Housing for athletes could of be turned into apartments, local high schools could of used the fields, swimming pools, etc. what did they think people would go visit the venue for just pictures taken. New athletes could learn a sport in those venue. Not trying is a shame and wasted of money. Maybe it’s time for a permanent place to host for both the summer and winter games.
The 1936 Berlin olympics athletes village was turned into - ahem - an army barracks for the duration of WW2 and is today, as you suggested, being used for three different purposes: a museum, apartments, and the hotel complex for a holiday amusement park complex.
Athens was so badly underprepared for the Olympics. Most of the venues were less than half fullm
50 percent of the pictures are from Sarajevo lol.
Lol ? Do you have a slightest idea why Sarajevo venues looks like this ? I Suppose nobody told you about yugoslavian war. Where most of the venues were destroyed. They actually turned all the venues into olympic park before the war.
Very sad.
4:21 Athens Spartans MiLB
This video shows that no one needs sports AFTER. Played in the Olympics and forgot. Sad. Sorry for bad English. That's all
At least Athens Olympic stadium is still normal
Why don’t the US cities put people to work taking down these eye sores…..putting the land back together.
Come again?
Seems Russian Sochi Olympics was the most successful one in history since all venues still stand.
The one of Cortina might still be reused for 2026. They just need to add another hill.
Competitions are going to be held in Val die Fiemme / Predazzo (most likely).
Many abandoned places is in athens, it's so sad
London got it right because they used places that where already in use
O2 Arena Gymnastics/Basketball
Wembley Arena and Excel centre for Handball/indoor volleyball Judo/Tykwando and Basketball
Wembley Stadium Football
Wimbledon Tennis
Lea Valley sports centre canoe and shooting
Weymouth sailing and surfing
Lords cricket Ground Archery
Eaton Dorney Rowing and kayaking
and what they built is still in use
London Stadium still used for Athetics and is the home of West Ham United Football Club
Aquatics centre has been scaled down in seating but is still used buy the British Aquatics team and for major events (british world and European championships) and buy schools in London to teach future Olympions
Velodrome same as above
Volleyball Stadium and pop up Basketball Arena where temporary structures (but Basketball court was reassembled and is now in Edinburgh)
Hockey Court Still in use to this day
BMX track scaled back but still in use
Cities need to think when bidding about legacy not just the 2 weeks of Olympics/Paraolympics
few sports should not be included for the Games, it is very expensive raise a venue for them
Wasteful. IOC needs to move to a 5 city host regime and rotate those 5 cities to host. Venues can be reused, retrofitted and updated as needed.
Just have the Summer Olympics permanently in Los Angeles.
London 2012 seems to be missing, oh the venues are still in use and looked after? Shame on you Athens, Rio and Beijing
Exxpert guy, he learned that in order for Samaranch to give us the 2004 Olympics, he forced the state to give many works to the husband of his daughter Santiago Calatrava's , the well-known architect.Athens benefited from several works for the games (roads, airport, etc.), but was also financially damaged by some other works that you can see here. Also a lot of people took a lot of money.Should most of the Olympic works have been solved like in London,but......In Greece most of the football stadiums are 50-70 years old and they went and built stadiums that are rotting.
Ha ha ha same picture deference angle..
What is dumb if they opened alot of places to public when done they would of stayed better
Wow what a complete and utter waste of resources. How much Carbon footprint is used up everytime the Olympics is held? What a waste.
It's disgusting how much money has been thrown away for a few weeks of sport. Don't ever tell me to think about carbon footprint ever again!
