WoS has excellent content, but wouldn't suffer from an update (more responsive aware, no dead links and better quality images). Not that it detracts from the article, but anyone else wanting a clear(er) view of the top two illustrations of how things can change in not too many years: https://didyouknowfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/sara11.jpg https://didyouknowfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/sara1... https://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/L/Sarajevo-fama-1996.jpg https://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/L/Sarajev...

There's also a spot that was used to award medals for the Olympians and as a place for executions not long after (Malo Polje on the top right of the first photo): https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/5gmy1j/medal_podium_from_the_1984_sarajevo_olympics_that/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/5gmy1j/medal_p... This month it was supposed to be used as a place for the Red Bull 400 race (400 meters uphill), but from what I can find, it appears as if the event was cancelled.
