From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parnitha Olympic Mountain Bike Venue was the site of the Mountain Biking events at the 2004 Summer Olympics at Athens, Greece. The venue is located at Parnitha, a mountain to the north of Athens in Acharnai. The venue has a capacity for 15,500 spectators, although a public capacity of only 14,700 for the Olympics. The venue was officially opened on August 23, 2004—after the Olympics had already begun—though a test event had been held at the site in May 2004.
