Carioca Arena 3, Olympic sports arena in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil.

The indoor stadium features modern design elements with steel structures, glass panels, and dedicated competition areas for multiple Olympic sports disciplines.

During the 2016 Summer Olympics, the arena hosted taekwondo and fencing events, followed by judo and wheelchair fencing in the Paralympic Games.

The facility was renamed Isabel Salgado Olympic Educational Gymnasium to honor the Brazilian volleyball player who contributed to national sports development.

The arena accommodates 10,000 spectators and includes multiple restroom facilities, food concession areas, and designated spaces for medical assistance.

The structure transformed into a vaccination center during the COVID-19 pandemic and now functions as an educational sports facility for 5,000 students.
