olympic bobsled repurposed – 10 pics

The Winter Olympics in Sarajevo took place in 1984. So much has happened in the region in the last 3 decades. Today, the Olympic bobsled is a sprawling canvas for graffiti artists. Also, it doubles as a unique, adrenalin-inducing course for bikers and long boarders. We’ll have more on the outdoor adventure possibilities when we are able to go back later. For now, here are pictures of the Olympic bobsled from the Sarajevo games.

This is the signage you need to look for when driving out to the site. Coming from the city, turn left here to go down to the track area.

It felt like there was something going on here with Chester Cheetah, though I didn’t completely figure it out.

Still thinking on this one.

I liked the 3-D feel to this piece.

Some of the text graffiti with a zoomed out view of the bobsled.

The corner.

And again.

Someone is looking for a brighter tomorrow. Though simple and straightforward, in the mix of it all, I really appreciated this piece. I am hopeful for a future with more bright colors and sunshine for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
