Olympic venues are the locations where the various sports competitions of the Olympic Games take place. These venues can include stadiums, arenas, and outdoor facilities, each designed to accommodate specific sports. For example, the Olympic Stadium is typically used for track and field events, while swimming competitions are held in specialized aquatic centers. Each host city builds or renovates venues to meet the requirements set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). After the games, many venues are repurposed for community use or other sporting events, contributing to the local economy and promoting sports among residents.
