The Krylatskoye Sports Complex Velodrome is an indoor velodrome in the Krylatskoye district of Moscow, Russia. It was built in 1979 according to a design from a team of architects for the 1980 Summer Olympics and hosted the track cycling events.[citation needed] The velodrome is situated on Krylatskaya street, between the Krylatsky Hill and the Rowing Canal.[citation needed]

Construction

This structure is in the shape of an ellipse with axes of 168 and 138 m. The 168 meter-long span of the bike track is covered by two pairs of inclined arches which are connected by a 4 mm thick rolled steel membrane.[citation needed] The velodrome also accommodates 2 tennis courts, 2 squash courts, a martial arts arena, fitness equipment, a sauna, an athletics arena, a cafe/bar, and a hotel.[citation needed]

A 220×90 m archery complex was built next to the velodrome. The complex included a firing line and a line for setting targets at a distance of 30 to 70 m for women and 30 to 90 m for men.[citation needed]

A circular bike route was also constructed in 1979 on the other side of Krylatskaya Street in the Krylatsky Hills. The cycle path has an asphalt surface and a length of 13.64 km and a width of 7 m.[citation needed]
