You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Olympic Velodrome''' for the [[Cycling at the 1984 Summer Olympics|track cycling]] events at the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] was located on the campus of [[California State University, Dominguez Hills]] in [[Carson, California]]. Constructed between 1981 and 1982, the [[velodrome]] was sponsored by the [[United States|American]] [[convenience store]] chain [[7-Eleven]].

The 333.3 meter long track was demolished in 2003 and replaced by the [[ADT Event Center]] in 2004, now known as the [[VELO Sports Center]], which remains the only Olympic-standard velodrome in the United States.   The ADT center was built to the south of where the Olympic Velodrome had been.  [[Dignity Health Sports Park]] soccer stadium (formerly Home Depot Center and StubHub Center) is situated where the velodrome once stood.

==History==
On 4 February 1981 California State University Dominguez Hills was selected as the site of the Olympic velodrome.<ref name="auto">((Cite web|url=https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll8/id/39639/rec/51|title=Official Report 1984 v.1 page 1|website=digital.la84.org|access-date=Jul 29, 2019))</ref> CSU Dominguez Hills President Don Gerth was eager to include the university in the ’84 Olympics. When Olympic Organizing Committee Chair [[Peter Ueberroth]] asked Gerth if he would like to have the Olympic velodrome, he replied, “We'll take it. What's a velodrome?<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.csudh.edu/univadv/dateline/archives/20090813/campusnews/alookback.htm |title=California State University, Dominguez Hills ((!)) Dominguez Hills Dateline |website=www.csudh.edu |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530171348/http://www.csudh.edu/univadv/dateline/archives/20090813/campusnews/alookback.htm |archive-date=2010-05-30)) </ref>”

On 9 July 1981 construction began on the Olympic velodrome, and it was completed on time and under budget prior to the 8 July 1982 dedication and 7-Eleven/Bicycling Magazine Grand Prix on July 9-10th, 1982.<ref name="auto"/> The 7-Eleven velodrome was one of only three permanent facilities built specifically for the 1984 Olympic Games.<ref name="auto"/> The track was ((convert|333.333|m|ft)) in length, ((convert|6|m|ft)) wide, banked at 33 degrees in the turns, 9 degrees on the straights, and was made of concrete. Prior to the Games, the track experienced small hairline cracks. These were fixed by an epoxy injection system and series of grinding to reduce bumps common to concrete tracks, and the track was coated with polyurethane prior to the Olympics for the fastest possible surface. Riders said the track was “smooth but sticky."<ref name="auto"/> Permanent stands were built to accommodate 2,000 spectators, but with temporary seating additions capacity for the Games was between 6,400 and 8,000. The Los Angeles developer and contractor Stolte Inc. built the velodrome for $3 million. Prior to the Games, the Olympic velodrome was one of the most requested venues for tours.<ref name="auto"/>

The 1984 Games was perhaps the most successful in [[USA Cycling]] history. It was also the first Olympics to have Women's Cycling. The LAOOC petitioned for Women's Individual Sprint and Pursuit events, but the requests were denied by the [[IOC]]. [[Connie Carpenter-Phinney]] and [[Rebecca Twigg]] took the Gold and Silver Medals in the 45 women field in the Individual road race, the first in Olympic history. On the track, [[Mark Gorski]] won the Individual Sprint Gold over ‘The Cheetah’ [[Nelson Vails]] in the all USA Final, and [[Steve Hegg]] won the 4000m Individual Pursuit. Altogether the US won a record 9 medals in cycling events.
