I'm 33 and this place looks like how I feel some days.

My high school friend who is no longer with us was there as a ski jumper.

I didn't know that, back then, Winter and Summer Olympics were held the same year! I was in L.A. during the summer Olympics.

Kinda sure they've had a war since the Olympics

Spend all that money to build the place and then abandon it after it's over. How sad and wasteful.

#4 says 'I hate fag's. Could not believe how much graffiti was aimed at gays while living in Serbia and Bosnia. Smrt pederima everywhere.

Most of balkans have very patriarchal upbringing. But on other hands, it mostly depends on personal upbringing by parents. I usually 1/2

2/2 dont have problem with what 2 consenting adults do in privacy of their home, and most people here dont either.

This is why I'm a firm believer that a city shouldn't host unless it can already support the games. Limits choices but stops this
prattleassassin
there should be a show on cable where they flip Olympic venues like people flip houses

The 1984 summer Olympics were in Los Angeles, not Sarajevo.
jay20003000
Dude some of this looks like the place hardcore Henry was shot lol
Forbayn
That's pretty incredible. I'd love to go. I live near Lake Placid, so seeing a winter Olympic venue completely abandoned would be spooky.

Huh, I thought the 84 Olympics were in LA

Unfortunately this happens a lot to locations where the Olympics has happened build build build spend spend spend then fall into decay
LordFrancisoftheFilth
To be fair we had a war not too long ago after the olympics, including the occupation of said city in the post. Source: I live there
alyfromthevaly
Can confirm. I live there also.

It's crazy how much money and materials get wasted building a whole town that gets used for 2 months and is then left to rot.
chiefs86
It's simply due to poor management. After the Olympics are done with, the logical solution would be to create apartments/hotels/recreation.
MrTaLL9001
In Sydney it because a booming residential suburb, and we still use all of the Olympic venues!
chiefs86
Australia has the luxury of not being ridiculously corrupt and/or a shithole. Look at Brazil's brand new Olympic village now.

I remember as a child seeing a guy wearing a shirt that said "Nuke the Gay Whales", I was very confused by it.

Yeah i mean Hadnt you had one of those days that these whales anoyed the fuck out of you?
Noonesawwwwme
Look i my street cred man, those fcking whales man.

Oh i mean that one whale last seen in iceland and eh that other one man. Really he is a special one. Last seen captive in new mexico...

They make me mad.

I really hope LA gets the 2024 Olympics. We already have the infrastructure so this won't happen.
BeagleHound
Just announced that LA will get either the 2024 or 2028 games. (The other city will be Paris).
Dunes8
Yeah, the 84 Olympics went well because of that
HumfreeBugart
A decade of war probably interfered with the maintenence plan
NoUserNameIsTaken
It's 2028
ajpimpsalll
Born/raised in LA. I disagree vehemently with this statement. We are a sprawling mess and the olympics would only make things worse.
ProfessorRossEforp
Having had to sit through the CalExit whining during this past year, I have this to say:
ajpimpsalll
i... i don't even know if what that's supposed to convey. heh. care to explain?
ProfessorRossEforp
Many celebrities during the last election and many Californians in general voiced pulling Cali from the US, citing Cali's infrastructure.
ProfessorRossEforp
A common argument the rest of the US heard on repeat was about Cali having the perfect huge economy to do so, contrary to your opinion here.
DavidBrooker
To be fair, Sarajevo had some complicating factors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sarajevo
StephanieWasTheTrueVillainOfLazyTown
I'm amazed they don't teach about this in school. At least not at the schools I went to.
DavidBrooker
The breakup of Yugoslavia was definitely taught here, but it was kind of blurred into the larger collapse of communism in Europe.
quackattack89
LA is already such a shit show though. The left wing extremists would protest the hell out of it and ruin whatever they can.
thatsmypurse
Oh, knock it off.
CountessVonFingerbang
...out of the olympics?
ajpimpsalll
? I'd be more concerned with our gigantic congestion issues and lack of usable public transportation.
sprbwlshuffler
The new Fallout looks great.
Cataleast
I can already see it! "Bethesda proudly presents: Fallout -- Abandoned Olympic Villages" It's going to be glorious!
YourMomJokes
what's gonna be the next one? we'll find out in another 7 years.

cascadia/washington state: fan built on the FO4 engine; quite far along. the next official game is unknown
FirstDagger
I would kill for a Fallout with realistic weapons set in Europe. Meanwhile there is Stalker and Metro.
ColRhys
Worth remembering that the lack of any vault tech vaults and prior nuclear wars in Europe means there's nobody left.
FirstDagger
Ghouls in Paris ?
ColRhys
I mean possibly? But there would be a distinct lack of any human characters. Although maybe that could work without the damned croaky voices

Fallout Australia: nuclear winter has blesses them with a temperate climate. Life goes on as normal.
MoonbuttTheGreat
"omg Australia has cazadores?!" "no mate, that's just a regular Australian wasp." "but it's a foot long!" "yep, he's still growing."
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
Be careful when you are up there. There are gangs that specialized on tourists visiting these places. Explore this place in groups.
yepn0pe
Sounds like that building Bruce Lee went to in Game Of Death.

plot twist: there are gangs that specialize in tourist groups. Commenter is drumming up business.

Sadly there is not much more to say. Small groups are waiting there to rob naive tourists. No chance to call the police or cry for help. 1/2
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
The place is really cool and visit it when you are in Sarajevo. But don't be stupid and go alone. There is a chance you are getting robbed/2
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
Reasons why they are waiting there: Usually small tourist groups, expensive camera equipment, usually young tourists with expensive phones/1
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
no chance to call for help, if you somehow manage to call the police (bad signal) they need 45min+ to arrive, it's also easy too flee. 2/2

Yes please.
