olympic training center

能看到很多奖牌，运动员得奖照片，按年份排列。还能免费参观运动员训练基地。去的时候正好遇到有些运动员在训练，但是不知道能不能看（后门没关，推开进去），所以就喵了几眼匆匆离开。也有看到游泳训练，当然游泳馆不让进，就在门窗口那看了看。射击地没人训练，我进去看了看。真的是亲密接触了运动员训练地。在中国我是想也不想的，没去看过，想到北京那么多人城市那么大就畏缩了。

We are so glad we made a visit to the U.S. Olympic Training Center. After the short intro video -- which will give you chills -- a current athlete took us on a guided tour around the facility. We were able to see athletes practice in the shooting range, the weight room, the pool and a new cross-training facility.

Our guide on our last visit was one of the paralympic team swimmers so he was extremely knowledgeable and really an amazing guide. He answered any question that was thrown at him and was funny and delightful all the while. This made for an excellent tour. Highly recommended.

On the tour we were able to see training facilities for athletes, learned about the lifestyle while at the center.

Lot of good memories since this site used to be Ent Air Force Base before conversion to the training site. It's great when a no longer military installation is converted to useful purpose rather than left to abandonment. (I took an oral surgery course there in 1970 and remembered it well). It's a great walk-thru center with all sorts of memorable olympic events and modern training facilities for both Summer & Winter Olympians. Everyone should see if who has even a slight interest in our national Olympic teams.

The good: when we went through it was free. If you go earlier in the day you are more likely to see the athletes training, and the tour is quite interesting. The bad: Apparently it is no longer free, but now they charge a small fee to take the tour. Still, it is pretty interesting and it may be a worthwhile, especially with the training ramping up for the upcoming Olympics.

My wife and I did a guided tour where they show you glimpses of workout areas and gymnastics. I was disappointed we didn't go into the pool area (instead of looking through the windows), but it still gave us an idea of how the athletes train. We did see some swimmers and gymnastics on the tour. I'm glad we went, but not sure we would return. Great to see the dedication of our athletes though and learn about how hard they train.

I live in Colorado springs and this has been a disappointment for every guest I've taken. Unless you time your visit to see summertime skiers jump into pools or time get admission to see skaters practice, this is boring. It's like seeing a college dorm.

I've been lucky enough to participate in guided tours buy staff and docents at the center. They have a great deal of knowledge about the entire center. It's always inspiring to visit and many times you'll find an opportunity to watch the athletes working out. Awesome and humbling experience.

Great way to experience the Olympic lifestyle right here in Colorado Springs. Several sports train year around at the training center and can be seen during the week, tremendous amount of Olympic history and factoids to be learned. Best part, FREE admission.

First of all I have to admit I'm partial, my daughter Nikki works in the gift shop, make sure you say hi to her. We did not go on the tour, instead our daughter gave us a private tour. Very nice facility be prepared for walking, wear comfortable shoes.

I expected to see something more than a video and buildings but that is about it. If you are really into the Olympics I would say to go visit but we didn't see anyone training or Olympians walking around.

The tour is $5 for adults. It starts with a movie that hypes you about the Olympics then you tour the "campus." We went in the afternoon and the area seemed dead. The tour is mostly looking into windows or going into an empty gym. Obviously the facilities are nice but you are really just going from a tennis court to a wrestling matt area to peering into the window of the pool. Maybe if I was a bigger sports buff I would have enjoyed it more.

Real nice overview of an Olympians road to the Olympics. Great movie, nice look at the main training sites and even possible to see athletes training. Go - it's even free.

This is where we train team USA and what a facility. Wish we had more time to look around. Hope to get back again in the future!!
