Olympic venues
Where athletes compete
Olympic venues are the stadiums, arenas, and facilities that host competitions during the Olympic Games.
The term covers everything from swimming pools to ski slopes to velodromes.
After the Games, venues face varied fates—some become white elephants, others transform into public facilities: The city struggled to find uses for its Olympic venues.
Host cities increasingly repurpose existing structures rather than build new Olympic venues from scratch.
