Velodromes, our cathedrals of speed.
00:11
No start, no end.
00:16
This is where all the pain happens.
00:18
It's amazing to see how far Velodromes have come,
00:24
from their humble beginnings to this.
00:27
(upbeat music)
00:30
When you see those boards,
00:31
do you just remember the pain of training
00:33
or do you remember the glory of winning?
00:34
The bit for me that really brings it back
00:37
is when you hear the beeps.
00:39
Without this Velodrome being built in 1994,
00:42
we would have no Olympic program.
00:44
Since then, GB athletes have won
00:46
more than 25 gold medals at Olympic Games,
00:50
giving this building the nickname, The Medal Factory.
00:54
Over the last 10 years, it's just gone.
00:56
We retired and then it got really good.
00:57
It got really good then, didn't it?
00:58
You know, there were consistently gold medalists.
01:01
That's the pressure now is to continue that.
01:03
It's a safe environment to start cycling in.
01:05
Obviously, you are riding in for 45 degree banking,
01:07
but there's no cars in here.
01:09
There's also something in being comfortable
01:10
going at 60K an hour without brakes.
01:12
We have a thing called a perpendicular speed.
01:16
If you don't go fast enough, you fall off.
01:18
You haven't reached the perpendicular speed.
01:19
You haven't reached it.
01:20
I'm Rob Hales.
01:24
Quite a while ago, I won one or two medals
01:26
on Velodromes around the world.
01:27
I'll let you have that one on the photo.
01:31
So why don't you come on a little journey with me
01:33
to find out why I think they're so important.
01:36
Velodromes themselves and the buildings that house them.
