ON THE LINE WITH AN EXPERT - OVER 125 YEARS OF OLYMPIC VENUES: POST-GAMES USE
In April 2022, the IOC published a report entitled "Over 125 years of Olympic venues: post-Games use", the result of three years of research carried out in collaboration with the Olympic Studies Centre. The study and its findings were presented to an academic audience in an “On the Line with an Expert” session.
The IOC experts presented the methodology applied and the findings of this first-ever official inventory of the post-Games use of Olympic venues, which covers 51 Games editions, from Athens 1896 through to PyeongChang 2018.
You can find the presentation session here, and read the full report and the executive summary.
