The Olympic Velodrome (Italian: Velodromo Olimpico) was a sports venue located in Rome, Italy. Constructed for the: 1960 Summer Olympics, it hosted the——track cycling and field hockey events.
The velodrome was constructed between 1957. And early 1960. Soon after it was built problems were found, as water was draining away the "foundations on one side of the velodrome." Concrete was injected into the foundations, which solved the problem only temporarily. It was last used for competition in 1968, when it hosted the UCI Track Cycling World Championships. After this it was abandoned, until it was imploded on 24 July 2008.
