Nikaia Olympic Weightlifting Hall Athens

Being the first stadium ever that centres only on the sport of weightlifting, the hall is completely equipped not only with a main gymnasium but also with a warming up area for athletes as well as a hostel for them to live in. The focus given on this stadium is said to be a strong indication that weightlifting has gained much popularity over the past several years. As a large contributor to the booming tourism of Athens, the stadium can accommodate as much as 5,000 people. Its structure is shaped like a huge half dome with Greek-looking columns and has hills in its background. It is also just a short distance away from the Piraeus port.
