Times have changed, there is no world record anymore which was skated on the famous ice rink of Alma Ata, and Kazakhstan is an independent country. Still, the name has a special ring to those interested in speed skating, and when I was in Alma Ata for the first time in my life I had to skate on Medeo of course. When I entered the skating rink, saw the old pictures of famous skaters, and the old pieces of wood carrying the records of Medeo, I was thrilled. It is strange to be walking in a place about which you have fantasized, which has had an almost mythical name.
