Olympic 2024 sports venues: The Velodrome National - venue for the track cycling competitions
Good things come to those who wait - the designers of the Olympic cycling track in the Yvelines department, 35 kilometres from the centre of Paris, must have thought. The oval in the multi-purpose Velodrome National building was originally planned for the 2012 Olympic Games, for which Paris had bid in vain. Following the opening of the Velodrome in 2014, the 250 metre long wooden track has already hosted a number of major events such as the 2015 and 2022 Track World Championships. In addition to the modern pentathlon, a total of twelve track competitions will be held in the arena, which can hold 5,000 spectators.
Olympic track made from Siberian pine wood
"With an incline of 44 degrees and a width of eight metres, this is one of the most steeply inclined and widest tracks in the world - and with a surface made of Siberian pine wood, it's also one of the fastest," reveals Thomas Boudeville, head of the operating company. "The harder the wood, the faster the track," says Olympic champion Mieke Kröger, who has already contested several competitions on the track. "But I don't think it's as fast as the track in Tokyo," says Kröger.
Several world records were broken there. It remains to be seen whether Robert Marchand's world record will be followed by others in the final week of the Olympic Games. At the age of 102, the Frenchman set a new hourly world record of 26.952 kilometres in the over-centenarian age group one day after the track opened.
