This is a list of all full-length (400 meter) speed skating rinks in the world.[1] The Richmond Olympic Oval and the Sport und Koncert Komplex (Winter Stadium) are the only venues to have been dismantled as a speed skating rink, in 2010 and 1992 respectively.[2] While Lærdal IP is the only venue that uses natural ice.[3] The first indoor artificial speed skating oval was the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen in Berlin, Germany in 1985. The first indoor artificial speed skating oval used in the Winter Olympics was the Olympic Oval in Calgary, Canada in 1988. Since the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway all speed skating competitions have been held in indoor ovals.
