Want a look at what the magnificent stadiums we were watching just a week ago may look like before long? Check out "The Olympic City" project, a photographic tour of what happens to Olympic venues when the Olympics are over. A lot of them, specially built either for a specific sport or for a much larger audience than a particular sport usually commands, simply rust away.
Some of the pictures can be found here. I think Sarajevo can get a little bit of a pass, since in between the 1984 Winter Games and today, the Serbs spent four years shooting at everything in the city that might hide a Bosnian, including the different Olympic facilities.
