21 Historic Olympic Venues That Are Now Completely Abandoned

21. The Swimming Complex – Sydney 2000 (Australia)

The Sydney Games were among the most successful in Olympic history, but not all venues were spared from abandonment. A smaller swimming complex, once a training and secondary competition facility, has been left to deteriorate. Unlike the grand Sydney Olympic Park, which is still in use, this pool has become a forgotten corner of an otherwise celebrated Games. Empty lanes, cracked tiles, and still, stagnant water serve as a stark contrast to the record-breaking performances once achieved there.
