The future of the Sochi Olympic venues is unclear. Alexander Valov, a Russian reporter for BlogSochi, visited Sochi's "coastal cluster" a site that includes six venues, the Olympic Village, and the Olympic Park, all built from scratch on an undeveloped plot of land and he took some eerie photos this week.
He called the area around the Olympic Village "Dead City."
The photos are a reminder that much of what was built for the Olympics has no long-term use.
While a few arenas and other buildings have plans going forward the media center is being turned into a mall! the Russian government is still behind schedule on post-Olympics planning.
Valov's photos, which we're republishing with his permission, should serve as a warning for what could become of the "coastal cluster."

Not it wasn't and it should never have been there.
The weather at that time of the year is similar to Atlanta's........
It’s about how all the work to build it was awarded.
Well it is a summer resort town, give it another couple of months. That bobsled track could be an awesome waterslide if they put a pool at the bottom.
That one still makes me sad.
If we build it, they will come! ;-)
Any place where the facilities are still being used are good ones! :-)
