The construction work of the new Arena Baikal in Irkutsk is in full swing! The main work at the facility is practically included in the schedule.
In March 2020 the World Championships Men will take place in the new “Arena Baikal”. The installation of the load-bearing wooden arches is planned to be completed in the end of August. There will be 12 arches mounted. It is planned that two arches will be installed in each summer month. On May 29 the sixth arch construction appeared.
