The past vs present of the Olympic venues is shocking and contrasting, some are abandoned, and som

Every four years, the Olympic Games must be bustling with people, and this is the place where the strength of athletes from all over the world is tested.

The scale of the Olympic Games is not only a manifestation of national strength, but also a country that has qualified for the Olympic Games can quickly build its reputation.

However, after the excitement, it will always look extremely deserted, and many venues that have hosted the Olympic Games are mostly overgrown with weeds and even become "cemeteries"!

This can't help but make people sigh that "the past was lively and today, the forest is clear, and the desolate and fallen leaves are canceled and noisy"!

In 2004, Greece hosted the beach volleyball event of the Athens Olympics.

The first thing people think of when they think of the beach must be the beautiful women in bikinis on the beach, so the Olympic Beach Volleyball Center in Faliro in Greece was very lively back then.

Beauties in bikinis danced on the beach of the competition venue, and the scene was full of people.

But after a few years, this place has long been deserted, and there are no beauties on the beach, only weeds all over the ground.

In 2016, the Greek city government wanted to reuse it and turn it into a hospital, but this is still the case.

In 1996, the United States became the venue for the Olympic Games, which coincided with the "100th anniversary" of the Games.

Therefore, in order to show its national strength, the United States held it very grandly this time, and the Atlanta Olympic Stadium built was even more grand.

The Olympics were successfully completed that year, but in the end, the Atlanta Olympic Stadium in the United States was such a magnificent building, and the daily maintenance and repair alone consumed too much of the asset.

So in 1998, two years after the Olympics,U.S. blasting eradicated nearly two-thirds of the main Olympic venue.

The 14th Winter Olympics were held in Sarajevo, the site of the First World War.

Even though the Olympics were held here, it was still not immune to the baptism of war.

Sarajevo was the host of the Winter Olympics in 1984, and since then there have been many civilian casualties in wars.

In 1992, the Bosnian War broke out in Hosarajevo, and the civilian deaths were measured in tens of thousands.

It was during this war that the venues of the Winter Olympics were bombed and now a resting place for the dead.

And the podium, which symbolizes honor, has become an "execution platform" during the war!

In 2016, the 31st Games of that year were held in Rio de Janeiro, South America.

The "MaracanĂ£ Stadium" was built at that time, and this time because of the lessons of the past, Rio de Janeiro built a number of venues for Olympic competitionsAll have become "one-off" venues.

Only the MaracanĂ£ Stadium did not end after the Olympic Games, and the other venues were abandoned after the Olympic Games!

For example, the following two modern swimming pools are one of them, and now the swimming pool has become a "mud pit".

The "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" prepared for the Olympic Games are still in use and have become local landmarks.

Many celebrities even held concerts inside, and in addition to some sports, the "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" also hosted many large-scale events.

And the Bird's Nest has undertaken two Olympic Games, one is the 08 Summer Games, and the Bird's Nest was specially built for it.

Until the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Bird's Nest was still in use, and even the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympics was held here.

Even with all its glory, there are still some establishments that are deserted.

One of them is the one built specifically for kayaking, which has long since dried up.

All that remains is memories of the fierce competition of the time.

In 1936, the Berlin Olympics were held in Germany, and Germany, as the most powerful country at the time, wanted to show their national strength.

The Olympic Village has been specially built with recreational facilities, a relaxing swimming pool and an opera house to watch, all of which are designed to give foreign athletes a taste of Germany's strength.

Today, the swimming pool and many of the recreational facilities that Germany built for the Olympic Village have been abandoned for many years.

In 1956, the venue for the Winter Olympics was chosen as Cortina d'Ampezzo.

At that year, the ultra-high ski jumping at the Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics was crowded on both sides of the mountain, and people came to watch this gorgeous and exciting competition.

How lively it was then, how quiet it is now, it can be said that it is off the beaten track.

After it was abandoned, it was left untended, and the slopes where athletes once spilled their blood have long been covered with weeds.

From a distance, the slopes seemed to reach the sky, and standing there was a testament to the excitement of the event.

This is the venue specially built for "beach volleyball" in my country back then, and the time of this ** shooting was in 2012.

It was established during the 2008 Summer Olympics, when the country was boiling over after a successful bid for the Olympics.

The mascot's ** printed on the wall pulled me back to the memories of my childhood.

Today's beach volleyball courts have been abandoned for many years.

Eighty-eight years have passed since the 1936 Winter Olympics, when the East Olympics were held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Until now, the facilities used for the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics have long since been abandoned.

The weeds at the Winter Olympics are as tall as people's legs, and no one has been here for decades.

However, it can still be seen from the ** that the track left over from the sledding many times 88 years ago.

This path without grass was not walked by people, but traces left by a sled race in 1936.

The cost of the Olympics has exceeded the expectations of every country, and many unpopular sports have to be scrapped if the Olympics want to grow.

But this can lead many athletes to give up their passions and strive to stand on the world podium.

If you don't lose money, you have to start with the construction and how you use it in the future, but you won't start with the abandonment of sports and reducing the cost of construction.

Like the picture below, the Panathinaik Stadium, built for the Olympics in 1896, was still being played in 2004.
