OLYMPIC VENUES: POST-GAMES USE REPORT
We are pleased to announce the publication of the report “Over 125 years of Olympic
venues: post-Games use”, a first-ever official inventory of the post-Games use of Olympic
venues across 51 Games editions, from the Olympic Games Athens 1896 through to the Olympic
Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. The report shows that, of the 817 permanent venues, some 85 per
cent are still in use, a proportion that rises to 92 per cent for the 206 permanent venues used
in the 21st century.
The data was collected between 2018 and 2021 by means of a combination of desk research
and on-site visits to which the Olympic Studies Centre is proud to have collaborated
significantly and through a wide stakeholder consultation, including venue owners/operators,
legacy entities, city/regional governments and National Olympic Committees. The final report and
the methodology applied has been assured by KPMG, according to the audit standard ISAE
3000.
We invite you to consult the full report and share it with your peers and students
interested in legacy aspects of the Olympic Games. The executive summary can be
found here.
If you are an university professor or researcher and want to to learn more about this report,
the methodology applied and its findings, we invite you to sign up to our next "On
the Line with an Expert" session on either June 16 or June 22, via this
link.
