Olympic Palace

Olympic Palace is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Olympic Palace rather than just read about it.

Key takeaways

Olympic Palace belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Olympic Palace to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Olympic Palace from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Olympic Palace (Georgian: ოლიმპიური სასახლე, romanized: olimp'iuri sasakhle) is an indoor sports arena situated in Tbilisi, Georgia, which was built to be used as one of the venues for the 2015 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival. А new basketball arena was added to the complex in 2022.

Construction and facilities Opened on 13 July 2015 by Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, the complex features two halls that are capable of hosting several sports, such as handball, basketball, volleyball, judo, wrestling, futsal, fencing and other games and tournaments. The seated capacity for the Grand Hall (also known as the main hall) is 3,600 for sporting events while the smaller hall can hold 800 spectators. The Olympic Palace also includes a VIP lounge, conference and media rooms, a cafe and car parking area with space for 260 cars.

Tbilisi Arena

The complex was expanded with a new 10,000-seat indoor basketball arena next to the Olympic Palace and later hosted the Group A matches of EuroBasket 2022. A tunnel connects the two venues of the complex, with the arena completed by the end of May 2022. Prime Minister Garibashvili visited the new building on the following 11 June. The palace's arena is built in line with modern standards and equipped with the latest technology. The new Sports Palace hosted the first EuroBasket test match on 4 July.

Events The venue has hosted the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Judo Grand Prix Tbilisi. The Group A round of the UEFA Futsal Euro 2018 qualifying competition was held here from 24 to 27 January 2017. The 4th European Kung Fu Championships and the 2017 Men's Youth World Handball Championship from 8–20 August. On 26 November 2017, the venue hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017; originally, the Tbilisi Sports Palace was selected to host the event, but it was relocated to the Olympic Palace as the former venue was considered "unsuitable". It was originally set to host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025, but the contest was eventually relocated to the Gymnastic Hall of Olympic City at a late stage due to the unavailability of the Olympic Palace for an assessment visit. Real American Freestyle will present RAF Georgia at the venue on 11 July 2026, headlined by Merab Dvalishvili vs. Henry Cejudo.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Olympic Palace

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Olympic Palace claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Olympic Palace before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Olympic Palace ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Olympic Palace

In research: Olympic Palace appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Olympic Palace in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Olympic Palace is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Basketball venues in Georgia (country), Buildings and structures completed in 2015, Buildings and structures in Tbilisi, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Olympic Palace outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
