History
The Velodrome was originally between 1989 and 1991 as an outdoor venue to host the 1991 Mediterranean Games. However, the original planning for the 2004 Summer Olympics did not include any renovations to the velodrome or even a roof.But as soon after the Atlanta Games in 1996, the UCI found that the weather conditions interfered directly in the tests, it was decided that from Sydney 2000, the Olympic tests would have to be in covered velodromes and there was a need for a general reform in the place that lbe gave a more modern track and a controversial ceiling in order to host the track cycling events at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics and track cycling events at the 2004 Summer Paralympics.The project was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava who added a roof to harmonize with the Olympic Stadium and the projected swimming outdoor pools ceiling. The track, made of Afzelia wood, is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. Reconstruction of the stadium was completed on May 30, 2004, and it was officially re-opened on July 30, 2004.
In September 2023 the venue was shut down due to the findings of a study that showed that the roof was not meeting the safety requirements.[1]
