Calgary Olympic Oval
Interior of Calgary Olympic Oval While on campus here at the University of Calgary, I visited the Calgary Olympic Oval, where the speedskating races were held during the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. It’s still an amazing sporting facility and, as you can see by the picture taken earlier this morning, still heavily used. It’s apparently the “fastest ice in the world”, meaning that more current world records have been set on it than any other track. Teams from all over the world come here to train. Given our nation’s continued success in speedskating competitions, I think this facility is one of the most important legacies from the Calgary games.
