The Olympic Oval

The Olympic Oval, located on the University of Calgary campus, is a world-class speed skating and high-performance sports facility dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and health and wellness for all. Home to the Fastest Ice in the World™, over 300 world records have been set at the Oval in both long and short-track speed skating since opening day in 1987. Aside from playing host to numerous speed skating competitions every year, the Oval also offers high-performance training, public skating, and public running to be enjoyed by residents, visitors, and students alike. The facility acts mainly as a winter sports establishment but opens its doors as an ice-out venue during the spring months.
