Abandoned Olympic Venues

An abandoned bobsled track in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) used in the 1984 Olympics. 

Over on the Huffington Post there is an incredible collection of photographs of abandon Olympic venues.

You can find the original article and more photographs here:

The images are haunting. Some of the venues pictured were used as recently as the summer games in 2008. It's disappointing that these venues are built and just abandoned. I really do hope the IOC does more to ensure that host countries don't over build in the future.
