'''Ordrup Zurenborg''' was a cycling track in Ordrup near Copenhagen. The track was built on Ejgaarden's land in the [[Gentofte Municipality]] in 1888 and was closed in 2000. It hosted the [[UCI Track Cycling World Championships|world track cycling championships]] for a record of nine times: in [[1896 ICA Track Cycling World Championships|1896]], [[1903 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1903]], [[1909 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1909]], [[1914 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1914]], [[1921 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1921]], [[1931 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1931]], [[1949 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1949]] and [[1956 UCI Track Cycling World Championships|1956]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 June 2000 |title=ORDRUPBANEN |trans-title= |url=https://www.cykelkurt.com/6D/ordrup.html |website=cykelkurt.com |language=dk}}</ref>
== History ==
Ordrupbanen had its heyday in the years leading up to [[World War II]] with Danish world stars such as [[Thorvald Ellegaard]] and [[Willy Hansen|Willy Falck Hansen]] repeatedly drawing full houses to Ordrupbanen. The good cycling races, often several times a week, the very large prize money, good cycslst conditions and many spectators meant that all the big international names absolutely wanted to race at Ordrupbanen. Back then, the spectators hung on the roofs around the track, where up to 16,000 spectators could be seen. After the war, it was riders such as [[Kay Werner Nielsen|Kay Werner]] and [[Palle Lykke]] who attracted big crowds.<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 May 2008 |title=Ordrupbanen - en publikumsmagnet med stjernedrys |url=https://www.e-pages.dk/villabyerne/42/47 |website=e-pages.dk |language=dk}}</ref>
The first track premiered on 29 July 1888. It was a 333 1/3 m long sand track without raised corners.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 April 2024 |title=Ordrupbanen |url=https://arkiv.dk/soeg?searchString=Ordrupbanen |website=arkiv.dk |language=dk}}</ref>
In 1893, the second track became a 333 1/3 m cement track with slightly raised corners.
After a major renovation in 1903, the third track became a 370 m cement track with 40 degree turns. The track was 9 metres wide.
In 1930-31, Henning Hansen built a 110 metre long grandstand facing Brannersvej. In 1935, a new referee's tower and cabin building were added. The cabin house replaced the round equestrian centre from 1895, which had been in use for forty years.
A fourth track with new cement was ready on 10 May 1987. The new track was 1.80 metres shorter (368.20 m). Due to the renovation, the Ordrup track was not used in 1986.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 April 2024 |title=Ordrupbanen |url=https://denstoredanske.lex.dk/Ordrupbanen |website=denstoredanske |language=dk}}</ref>
The final race on 3 September 2000 marked the end of the Danish Bicycle Club's 120-year history at Ordrupbanen. The track was then the world's oldest existing cycle track. The sale of the old track brought the Danish Bicycle Club DKK 18 million. This money was used to build the cycling arena in [[Ballerup]]. Today, the area where the Ordrup track was located has been developed with housing and a new era has begun with the construction of [[Ballerup Super Arena]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 September 2000 |title=Festen er forbi i Ordrup |url=https://www.bt.dk/sport/festen-er-forbi-i-ordrup |website=bt.dk |language=dk}}</ref>
