Is there a link between the Olympics and this unassuming structure? This is Sättra friidrottshall. It’s an indoor arena near the border of Sättra in southern Stockholm. While it may not seem grand, Sättra friidrottshall has a unique story. It’s tied to Stockholm’s bid for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The city realized it lacked a large badminton hall. The solution? To construct one at Sättra idrottsplats. This location already had an ice hall suitable for warm-ups during potential Olympic events. This new hall, Sättra friidrottshall, would serve as a track and field venue adaptable for badminton competitions during the Olympics. This project, along with the construction of Eriksdalsbadet, aimed to demonstrate Stockholm’s commitment to hosting the Games. Though Stockholm didn’t secure the bid, Sättra friidrottshall stands as a testament to those aspirations. Today, it thrives as a hub for athletes. It is used by schools and sports clubs. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of sport. All beneath this unique ‘shark fin’ roofline.
