Bosnia’s Abandoned Olympic Venues Hide a Dark Secret

An abandoned bobsleigh track winds through a forest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A few kilometres further on: derelict ski jumps and run-down judges' towers. Where the Winter Olympics were celebrated in the 1980s, moss now grows among rust and graffiti. What happened here? And why are these magnificent sports facilities falling into ruin? A film by Matthias Schwarzer. ------------------------------ Video sources: Ski jump in a minefield (Der Spiegel, German): https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/olympia-1984-ruinen-der-spiele-in-sarajewo-a-953273.html Holes in the labyrinth (SZ, German): https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/olympische-bobbahn-in-sarajevo-loecher-im-labyrinth-1.2280781 The Siege of Sarajevo (Federal Agency for Civic Education Germany, German): https://www.bpb.de/kurz-knapp/hintergrund-aktuell/222161/vor-20-jahren-ende-der-belagerung-von-sarajevo/ Sarajevo Winter Olympics (Deutschlandfunk, German): https://www.dw.com/de/ein-fest-der-freude-die-olympischen-winterspiele-in-sarajevo-1984/a-68188068 ------------------------------ Did you enjoy this video?
