Olympia Schwimmhalle

The Olympia Schwimmhalle is an aquatics centre located in the Olympiapark in Munich, Germany.

The Schwimmhalle is unique for its roof construction, which is a lightweight stressed-skin structure.

The double curvature in the roof design provides the support, which is further stabilized through pre-tensioned guy wires.

This record was not surpassed until fellow swimmer Michael Phelps won eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
