About M-Wave
M-Wave, officially the Nagano Olympic Memorial Arena, is an indoor oval for speed skating in Nagano, Japan. It was built for the speed skating events of the 1998 Winter Olympics. Its construction ended on November 21, 1996, and it became the first indoor 400 m double-track in Japan to meet International Skating Union (ISU) standards.
The name M-Wave comes from the building's distinctive shape, which is meant to resemble the surrounding mountains. The British Institution of Structural Engineers gave it a Special Award, and its hanging wooden roof is among the largest of its kind in the world. The arena lies in Nagano City's eastern part, within the communities of Asahi and Mamejima, close to the Chikuma River.
Two movable stands, each seating 1,210 spectators, let the arena change layout, including a concert hall or a football field. A machine that winds the artificial lawn automatically is also part of the equipment. Besides the 1998 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, it has hosted the 2002 World Figure Skating Championships and various speed skating world championships.
