ISU approved Speed Skating Oval Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam
During the Winter Olympics 2014, the Netherlands won 23 out of the 27 speed skating medals. This record was the result of a long-term investment in the sport. The success was celebrated on a mobile 400 metre speed skating rink installed by Ice-World. Over 108.000, both sportive and recreational skaters, enjoyed themselves on the speed skating rink and on the ice hockey size recreational rink in the centre. The Royal Dutch Skating Federation (KNSB), member of the International Skating Union, was very positive about the quality of the ice floor, on which the official Dutch all-round and sprint championships also took place. The Dutch top speed skaters – medal winners during the Olympic Winter Games 2014 – praised the quality of the ice and proved it during the competition. With winning times of 0.36,36 on the 500 metre distance, the rink instantly became the third-fastest speed skating rink in the Netherlands.

Covered 400m Speed Skating Rink in Rotterdam
Making speed skating possible on sport fields that were not in use in winter-time, was the idea behind this unique initiative in Rotterdam. Within a week Ice-World turned existing hockey fields into a covered speed skating ice rink. The facility was an instant success within the local and regional speed skating community. 150.000 skaters visited the rink in three months’ time. An official Dutch marathon competition took place on this ice floor and the speed skaters embraced the quality of the ice. The specially-designed mobile hall guaranteed not only an all-weather skating experience, but kept the temperatures indoors very low. Combined with an energy-saving cooling installation, the facility used less than 1 kWh/m2 per day. Less than a week after the ice rink was closed the ground was again in use for playing field hockey.
