Ilsur Metshin inspected the readiness for athletics competitions with the participation of more than 200 athletes from the BRICS Games
The first reconstruction of the Central Stadium in 20 years is being completed in Kazan. Next week, the renovated venue will host athletics competitions of the BRICS Games with the participation of 226 athletes. For the international event, 400 m long tracks were laid at the stadium, the seats of the stands were replaced with 15,000 spectators, the facade of the building and the galleries were repaired. The football and athletics arena, which will become a training ground, has already been renovated. After the BRICS Games, over 5,000 Kazan athletes and trainees of sports schools will be able to train at the Central Stadium. Before the start of the international competitions, the renovated sports venue was inspected by the mayor of the city Ilsur Metshin.
In six months, workers have completed waterproofing of the stands at the Central Stadium and installed new seats for 15,000 spectators. The color scheme of the seats was discussed jointly with the Kazan Development Institute. The two main spectator screens of the stadium's sports core have been replaced with LED HD monitors.
During the renovation, new entrance doors were installed on the first floor and on the staircase structures of the stands. New plumbing has been installed in the public bathrooms. The concrete structures have been updated, the walls and beams in the galleries have been reinforced. The roof and front of the building have been repaired.
Now experts are marking the athletics tracks with a length of 400 meters. The new coating is made of environmentally friendly and wear-resistant rubber. The durable material from the Chinese manufacturer is suitable for frequent use, and also creates a cushioning effect, which reduces muscle fatigue and the risk of microtrauma.
By the decision of the Mayor of Kazan and the management of the sports venue, the unused VIP boxes were converted into multifunctional training areas. After the international competitions, more than 1,300 athletes of the Tsentralny sports club will continue to practice at the stadium. The football and athletics arena will be attended by almost 3,800 trainees of the Aviator, Trudovye Rezervy, Tasma, Idel, Tsentralny, Strela and Savinovo sports schools.
To date, the repair work at the arena has been fully completed: dismantling worn-out and laying new tracks, repairing jump pits, marking and replacing doors. After the BRICS Games, artificial filler, which was laid in 2020, will be replaced on the football pitch.
After the repair of the entrance groups, the landscaping of the Central Stadium was also carried out. New asphalt pavement was laid in the parking lot in front of the sports venue with an area of 23,200 square meters, sidewalks were laid on an area of 11,800 square meters. Additional lamps were installed on seven outdoor lighting poles, five 20-meter masts with six spotlights on each were mounted, as well as nine 9-meter poles with lamps.
