Gangneung Science Oval, Indoor speed skating rink in Gangneung, South Korea

Gangneung Science Oval is an indoor speed skating venue in Gangneung, South Korea, with a double 400-metre rink and seating for 8,000. The building has three floors above ground and two underground levels. It stands in Gangneung Olympic Park, beside the Gangneung Ice Arena and the Gangneung Hockey Centre.

The rink was originally planned for the Gangneung Science Park site but had to be moved after disputes with local businesses, and it opened in January 2017 at its current location. Just over a year later, it hosted speed skating events at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The oval's Korean name, Gangneung Speed Skating Stadium, is used on the venue itself, while international events list it as Gangneung Oval. It hosted the 2017 World Single Distance Championships and the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics speed skating, drawing Korean spectators to both. The 8,000-seat arena sits beside the Gangneung Indoor Ice Rink, and its double 400-metre track is the setting for these competitions.

The oval is easy to reach by public transit or car and sits close to other venues that were used during the 2018 Winter Olympics. It is worth checking ahead whether a training session or competition is scheduled on the day you plan to visit, as this can affect access for the public.

The oval ranks sixth on the list of the world's fastest ice tracks as of March 2024, a standing earned from the track records skated at the 2017 World Single Distance Championships and the 2018 Olympics. After the Games it went unused for international racing for years, and its long-term future was unclear until the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics brought long-track speed skating back to the rink.
