This Olympics Stadium Postcard shows Laoshan Velodrome, which is one of the venues for Beijing Olympics 2008. It is one of the 10 official postcards issued on the occasion by State Postal Bureau in 2007.
The Laoshan Velodrome hosted track cycling events during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
It has a capacity of 6,000 spectators. A 250-meter oval shaped track is
prepared for cycling events. The total area covered by the Velodrome is 33,320 square metres.
The Laoshan Velodrome is being used for international and national cycling competitions and training after the Olympic Games. The velodrome was designed by Schuermann Architects, designers of the ADT Event Center in Carson, CA and the UCI Cycling Center in Aigle, Switzerland.
The following prepaid stamp was printed on the postcard.
Any thoughts on the Postcard or the Laoshan Velodrome design are welcome!
