Sheffield Speed Skating Oval (Lake Placid) - Modern Olympic Venues on Waymarking.com

The Sheffield Speed Skating Oval in Lake Placid, NY was used in the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Jack Shea became the first person to win 2 gold medals, when he won in 1932, and Eric Heiden won 5 gold medals in the 1980 Winter Olympics. It is still used in wintertime for public skating.

If you visit this waymark, you will see the Lake Placid High School behind the speed skating oval, and the Olympic Arena off to the right (where the USA Hockey team won nthe Gold Medal)...I'm a teacher in the high school, wave towards the middle window on the 3rd floor, maybe I'll see you...
