World class Velodrome ready for racing

Among the jewels in Ashgabat’s sporting crown is its 6,000-capacity Velodrome. It was designed and built to the highest standards with key materials for the 250-metre track imported from Finland. The facility, which was completed in 2014, is widely expected to lead to a bid to host major world track cycling events in the future.

Track Cycling at Ashgabat 2017 fits into two broad categories: Sprint races and Endurance races. There are individual and team disciplines in both categories.

A total of nine medal competitions will be contested at Ashgabat 2017 between 18–23 September, five for men and four for women.
