이 복합체는 종종 “기록 공장”이라고 불립니다: 높이, 공기 및 엔지니어링 솔루션의 조합이 수십 년 동안 이 아레나를 특별하게 만들었습니다. 이는 도시의 스포츠 역사 일부이자 알마티의 인식 가능한 상징입니다.

Medeu Ice Rink - Legendary High-Altitude Sports Complex Near Almaty
Construction of the Medeu sports complex began in 1949, and the first official competitions were held in 1951.

It hosted major competitions in speed skating, bandy, figure skating, and other winter sports.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Medeu experienced a period of decline, but a full technical reconstruction was completed in 2003.
