Øya stadion

From the opening in 1900 up until the war, Øen stadion in Trondheim was one of Norway's main facilities for speed skating, where Trondhjems Skøiteklub was the coordinator of a series of championships.

The first large event at Øya was the European championship in 1901, where Kristiania-born skater Rudolf Gundersen won.

Øya was abandoned as a skating rink after the new Leangen Ice Hall was completed in 1979.

There are three notable world records in long distance held at Øya.

The last, in 1951, Hjalmar Andersen broke Kornel Pajor's to year old record from Davos by six seconds with a time of 8:07.3 at Øya.
