The '''Barra velodrome''' was one of three sports venues located on the site of the former [[Nelson Piquet International Autodrome]] in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil (the other two are the [[Rio Olympic Arena]] and the [[Maria Lenk Aquatic Center]]). It hosted the [[track cycling]] events of the [[2007 Pan American Games]]. |
|||
The venue was demolished in the early stages of the 2016 [[Barra Olympic Park]] construction in favour of the new [[Rio Olympic Velodrome]] because the one built for the 2007 Pan American Games was not approved by the [[International Cycling Union]] (UCI) for Olympic events. Adapting it to meet the standard required by UCI would cost practically the same as building a new one. |
