The site of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games long-track speedskating competitions continues to be a solid attraction for several reasons: The massive silvery-white roof that covers this huge building on the University of Calgary campus is an engineering and architectural marvel; a strong sense of sports history pervades the building and the actual events seem only yesterday, with little changed; and the facility remains the fastest speedskating track on the planet, with records routinely and repeatedly shattered here at World Cup competitions staged each year. Several national teams, including Canada's, train here, offering fans a chance to have very close brushes with skating's elite. The track is regularly open to the public for skating on regular skates or on rental speed skates, though novices will spend most of their time on their bottoms!
