Once a mekka for speed skaters, the icerink of Almaty (Medeo) now symbolizes the grim situation of a former Soviet Republic.
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.
