## Construction

This structure is in the shape of an ellipse with axes of 168 and 138 m. The 168 meter-long span of the bike track is covered by two pairs of inclined arches which are connected by a 4 mm thick rolled steel membrane. The velodrome also accommodates 2 tennis courts, 2 squash courts, a martial arts arena, fitness equipment, a sauna, an athletics arena, a cafe/bar, and a hotel.

A 220×90 m archery complex was built next to the velodrome. The complex included a firing line and a line for setting targets at a distance of 30 to 70 m for women and 30 to 90 m for men.

A circular bike route was also constructed in 1979 on the other side of Krylatskaya Street in the Krylatsky Hills. The cycle path has an asphalt surface and a length of 13.64 km and a width of 7 m.
