Construction has begun on the third phase of the Winter Sports Olympic Training Centre in Shchuchinsk. The project includes four training ski jumps, a specialised boarding school with 300 places and an indoor ice arena for nearly 3,000 spectators.
Akmola Region Governor Marat Akhmetzhanov reviewed the progress and plans for further construction. The centre is intended to prepare national winter sports teams for international competitions and the Olympic Games.
The complex is designed to bring together education, professional training and athlete recovery. Plans also include accommodation for teaching staff and engineering infrastructure facilities.
