About Velodrome London
For track cycling, the management of Olympics 2012 has built Velodrome, right after its inauguration it was handed over to the LOGOC, to make relevant variations for the prestigious event. Venue is beautifully constructed; 180 degree bends on the ceiling takes no time in grabbing attention. Constructors have sensibly built the structure, by keeping in mind the ventilation system; due to perfect construction there is no need of AC in the venue. Spectators sitting at any spot will be able to view the entire arena. Besides cycling during XXX Olympiad, basketball matches will also take place in a separate zone, constructed with in the building. Velo Park which is the surrounding area of Veldorme, is spacious enough to endow every possible facility to the visitors as well as the athletes.

History:
In the year 2008 venue’s construction was started. After three years in February 2011, Veldrome’s formation was completed. But it was handed over to the LOGOC, so that they can make some additional changes for the big event, London Olympics 2012. Few structures along with facilities were installed by the management. It has been seen that among all new constructed venues of Olympics, Veldrome’s building is considered having the most justified design along with construction. Every material used in the construction, especially wood is of high quality, because it has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The arena is built on permanent basis, after the games it will be used for various other sports activity (related to cycling).
