List of Olympic Villages

Last updated

An Olympic Village is a residential area built or repurposed for housing Olympic competitors as well as their trainers and other delegation officials at the Olympic Games. Olympic Villages are typically built within or near an Olympic host city, although there have been exceptions. The first Olympic Village was built for the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, and all Summer Olympic Games since 1932 have had Olympic Villages. The village in Wustermark, built for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Nazi Germany, was the first Olympic Village that was not demolished after the Games ended. The first Winter Olympic Games to have a specifically built Olympic Village were the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway. The village for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, was the first to provide free accommodation for athletes.

As the Olympic Games have expanded in scope, so too have the villages. Modern Olympic Villages are capable of housing thousands of people. After the 1972 Munich massacre at the Munich Olympic Village, villages have had increased security. The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic caused the villages built for the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics to have increased biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of the disease. In the 21st century, Olympic Village construction has focused on environmental sustainability, with recyclable materials, low-carbon construction, and sustainable energy sources being key aspects of the villages built in the 2020s.
