Imagine the excitement of swimming in a pool where a legendary swimmer earned a Summer Olympics gold medal for his or her nation. Or rowing on a lake where world-class athletes once scored Summer Olympics gold. Or attending events at stadiums and other architectural landmarks built especially for athletes and spectators.
OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT
If you're interested in visiting a Summer Olympics site and participating in warm-weather sports, travel to a former location where the games were held. Even when the spotlight is off these destinations, their world-class facilities remain. Time has not stood still in any of these world-famous destinations, of course. New attractions and experiences await visitors to these destinations.
Everywhere the Summer Olympics was ever held, the proud spirit of championship athletics remains.
