      Inside world’s biggest abandoned stadiums from decaying Olympics venues to iconic Beatles arena turned into a CAR PARK

      by

      SPORTS stadiums always look at their best when packed to the rafters but many become devoid of life when failing to move with the times.Whether it be football matches, the Olympics or concerts, stadiums are most special for bringing thousands of people together.
      There are abandoned stadiums all across the world which have been neglected and left to rotCredit: AFP
      But unfortunately, for every brand-spanking new arena, there is an old, decrepit abandoned one.
      Crowd levels, economic issues or unplanned and tragic events are just some of the reasons for stadiums being forgotten about or unused as many fail to stand the test of time.
      Here are some of the world’s largest and iconic stadiums that have been lost in time and left to crumble and rot away.
      Guangzhou FC Stadium

      Former Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande began working on a fresh 100,000-seater stadium in April 2020.
      Read more in Football
      However, The Evergrande Group, one of China’s largest property developers and owners of the club, has since racked up debts of around £220billion.
      As a result, the half-built stadium was seized by the Chinese government in November 2021, before the project was ultimately cancelled in mid-2022.
      Stands with part-filled seats and abandoned cranes are all that’s left on the site of the half-built stadium.
      Donbass Arena

      The former home of Ukrainian Premier League champions Shakhtar Donetsk has remain unused for almost 10 years since being abandoned in 2014.
      Most read in Football
      The Donbass Arena, with a capacity of 52,187, once hosted four games at the European Championships in 2012 – including England’s 1-1 draw with France.
      But due to the Donbas war, it has been left in a sorry state after being shelled on the outside.
      Heavy damage was sustained to the turnstiles and entrances to the arena as an result of two explosions and it is unknown if the stadium will ever be used again.

      The world’s first multi-purpose, domed sports stadium was deemed the “Eight Wonder of the World” after opening in 1965.
      It quickly became the third most visited man-made attraction in the United States, until the new modern NRG Stadium opened next door in 2002.
      It sheltered 25,000 victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but was then declared non-compliant with fire codes in 2008.
      Parts of the dome were demolished as a result of several years of disuse, although others still stand to this day.
      Great Strahov Stadium

      Based in the Czech Republic capital of Prague, the Strahov Stadium hasn’t hosted a competitive sport event since 2019.
      The sheer size of this venue, however, made it the fourth largest sports stadium to ever be built anywhere in the world – holding 250,000 spectators (56,000 seated).
      Nowadays, it serves as the training ground of Czech giants Sparta Prague, but remains frail and crumbling from the oustide.
      Pictures offer a post-apocalyptic feel about the place, with its neglected exterior serving it no justice for what it used to be.#
      Shea Stadium

      Once home to the New York Mets baseball team and NFL giants the New York Jets, the Shea Stadium welcomed tens of thousands of spectators.
      After opening in 1964, it served as one of New York’s most iconic sports venues and hosted a famous Beatles concert in 1965.
      But all was lost when it was demolished in October 2008, when the 60,372-capacity stadium became a victim of the need for a bigger venue.
      Despite its legacy, the Shea Stadium was demolished to create additional parking for the adjacent Citi Field. A far from fitting end for a much loved venue.
      Washington Coliseum

      Formerly known as the Uline Arena, this venue only held 9,000 spectators as it was primarily used as the home of the Washington Lions hockey team.
      Like the Shea Stadium, it hosted a Beatles’ concert, as the Liverpudlian band played their first ever United States show in front of a crowd of 8,092 in 1964.
      But when the Capital Centre opened in 1973, the Uline Arena could no longer compete. Between 1994-2003, it was used as a Waste Management trash transfer station.
      In 2013, it was converted into an indoor parking lot, before outdoor retailer REI turned it into their latest flagship store in 2015.
      Olympic venues

      Olympic stadium are some of the mot common venues to be abandoned across the world due to the lack of interest in their use once the games are over.
      This includes the Sarajevo bobsleigh run in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1984, which runs through a woods and into a bombed-out spectator area.

      Why did Michael Johnson return his gold medal?

      by

      MICHAEL Johnson is a retired sprinter whose career would be the envy of many runners.But after his retirement, one of his gold medals was returned due to a shock controversy over the win.
      Michael Johnson has four Olympic gold medals.
      Why did Michael Johnson return his gold medal?
      During the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Michael became the first male Olympian to defend his title in the 400 metres.
      He didn’t run in the 200 metre race due to failing to qualify at the U.S. trials because of an injury.
      Despite this Michael won a second gold medal as the anchor of the 4 x 400-metre relay team.
      In 2008, having announced his retirement during the 2000 Olympic games, he returned his relay gold medal to the International Olympic Committee.
      Read more on sprinting
      His decision came after a team mate admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs for the race.
      Michael wasn’t required to return his medal but he felt it was tainted due to his strong anti-doping stance.
      How many gold medals did Michael Johnson win?
      Michael has won four Olympic gold medals and is regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
      He dominated the 200m and 400m during the 1990s and went seven years undefeated in the latter event.
      Most read in Athletics
      Michael decided to focus full-time on athletics in 1990 and excelled, and a year later was crowned world 200m champion.
      Sadly, he succumbed to food poisoning which denied him the opportunity to go to the Olympics in Barcelona, but later helped the US 4 x 400m relay team secure a victory that gave him his first taste of Olympic gold.
      By 1993, Michael had embarked on a sequence of 58 races at 400m where he was undefeated, and was hailed the “Superman”.
      The highlight of his career was at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
      83,000 people watched as Michael ran in his golden running shoes and completed a remarkable 200-400m double.
      This achievement hadn’t been matched before or since in men’s athletics.
      He achieved a time of 19.32 for 200m, a world record that stood for 12 years before being broken by Usain Bolt.
      In 1999, Michael set a new record for the 400m at 43.18 seconds.
      It was broken by Wayde Van Niekerk in Rio, 17 years later.
      Michael was known for his distinctive running style which is characterised by an upright gait and short stride which earned him the nickname “the duck”.
      Michael retired in 2001.
      What does Michael Johnson do now?
      Michael has remained in the sporting world as a TV commentator at various athletics events, including as a pundit for the BBC.
      Read More on The Sun
      He was also a coach in the American Flag Football League and managed the career of athlete Jeremy Wariner.
      Jeremy won Olympic gold during the 400m at Athens in 2004. More

      I’m a two-time Olympic boxing medallist.. now I’m trying my hand at new sport but it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done

      by

      FORMER Olympic boxer Paddy Barnes has turned to a new sport after retiring from boxing in 2019.The 36-year-old declared he has “fallen in love” with CrossFit after training at the KVLR gym in Belfast since hanging up his gloves.
      Paddy Barnes represented Ireland at the Beijing, London and Rio Olympic GamesCredit: Sportsfile – Subscription

      He will compete in his first CrossFit competition in Northern Ireland this month.
      Barnes is a two-time Olympic bronze medallist who also won gold representing Northern Ireland in the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth games.
      The former flyweight fought nine times as a professional after moving into the paid ranks in 2016, challenging for a world title at Windsor Park in 2018.
      He said he has fallen in love with CrossFit despite admitting it’s the “hardest thing I’ve done”.

      Barnes told Belfast Live: “I absolutely love it, and I don’t know why. I go in and it is the hardest training I have done in my life, but I am addicted to it.
      “And there could be worse things you could be addicted to, know what I mean?
      “This morning I did 100 double unders (skipping), 16 devil presses which went down in twos. It took me 11 minutes and nearly killed me, but I had been on the drink all weekend.
      “I remember my first session I ever did in CrossFit. I had to take a week off work after it to recover.

      “I did a thing called the ‘Murph’ which is a mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 press-ups, 300 squats and a mile run again. And I couldn’t function for a week.

      “I would fly through it now though.”
      CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen that was developed by Greg Glassman and Lauren Jenai in 2000.
      The exercise style combines a weight-lifting training style with developing cardiovascular fitness through high intensity exercise.
      Barnes says CrossFit has allowed him to refocus after a few wayward years.
      “I retired from boxing in 2019, and ever since then I have been eating and drinking,” he joked.
      “But to be fair I have done a lot of running as I enjoy it, things like 5ks and all that.
      “I run around the Waterworks which kept me ticking over for a while. But the CrossFit was a shock to the system.
      “I love it though, I really do. I want to apply myself a bit more.
      “I have competition at the end of the month in Mallusk, in a team of three. There are loads of competitions in the south of Ireland which I might enter to see how I get on, but give myself time to prepare properly for it.
      “The Mallusk competition is intermediate standard. I am fit but I am not strong enough for the proper elite stage.

      “I would be kidding myself if I said yes to one of those competitions.”
      When asked if he misses boxing at all, Barnes said: “Definitely not. I don’t mind not getting punched in the face.” More

      It was on the flight home that a regretful Marchant – an Olympic bronze medallist from the Rio 2016 Games – felt she had “real unfinished business” within the sport.
      It is why, thanks to the support of the National Lottery, she has decided to combine parenting with pedalling for one more shot at the Olympics.

      “The timing was perfect. I just thought this is the challenge that I need.
      “It was a year of carnage. We have two puppies as well. We were renovating a house. It was all systems go. But it was so worth it.”
      This weekend she will wear GB colours at major level for the first time since giving birth 14 months ago.
      Leeds-born Marchant rides the Keirin at the UCI World Cycling Championships in Glasgow and is a reserve for the women’s team sprint.
      This is the last big event before the Paris programme begins and Marchant knows she has to deliver – selectors will not pick her on sentimental grounds.

      Training-wise, her numbers in training have been as impressive as ever, particularly her first-ever 100kg power-clean lift achieved in May.
      Her old heptathlon training partner, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, has been around in recent months to give advice about motherhood and elite sport.
      Mum-of-two Ennis-Hill, 37, famously won the world heptathlon title in Beijing in 2015 – and then Olympic silver in 2016 – not long after the birth of son Reggie.
      Marchant said: “It was nice to have the guidance of those people who’ve done it before me.
      “I literally trained right before having Arthur. I was in the gym the week before. I was on the (static) bike the day before.
      “I’m used to being in pain. My body is used to being tired.

      “Around this time, I was like: ‘Should I be tired? Am I doing damage? Am I doing too much? How much should I push it?’
      “But Jess said to me, just listen to your body. If it feels like you can do it, then you should be doing it. And I’ve ridden that wave pretty much all the way through.
      “Ten years ago, when I first started cycling, I never for a second thought I’d have a family and continue my career.
      “You shouldn’t have to put family on hold for your career and vice versa. I’m a big believer you can do both.
      “I do hope people see my story and think actually it is possible.
      “At times I feel guilty that I’m away racing. I feel I should be at home. I’m just riding around in circles on a bike after all.

      “But I’m in a really lucky position to be able to get named in the team so soon after having Arthur.
      “I’m only here because I believe my performances can be better and good enough to get on that Paris team.”
