Photos Of Abandoned Olympic Venues Reveal Why The Games Are A Tragic Waste Of Money

#27 Kayaking Competition Venue, Beijing, 2008 Summer Olympics

The deserted and unmaintained former venue for the kayaking competition of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, can be seen on the outskirts of Beijing, March 27, 2012. The gigantic infrastructures built for the Beijing Olympics, namely the “Bird’s Nest”, and the National Aquatics Centre, also known as the “Water Cube”, are now used for cultural and sports events, reminding the world of the flare that blazed during the summer of 2008.
