As mentioned in my previous post, the venues for PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games are clustered at 2 areas; PyeongChang Mountain Cluster and Gangneung Coastal Cluster.
After visiting the stadiums and attractions in Pyeongchang, the next day we travelled about 60km to the neighboring city, Gangneung.
The venues for the Games in Gangneung are;
Gangneung Ice Arena
Gangneung Ice Arena is an indoor ice arena, which will be the venue for two sports: figure skating and short track speed skating. The arena has a seating capacity of 12,000.
The Gangneung Ice Arena is designed to house two ice rinks (60m x 30m) for competition and training respectively. The building has four floors above ground and two underground levels. An environmentally-friendly ice cooling system has been adopted, and the facility will be used for local recreational purposes after the Games.
