Rakvere Linnastaadion

About

The construction of Rakvere Stadium began in 1929, and the stadium was opened with a grand ceremony on 29 May 1930 by the Mayor of Rakvere Heinrich Aviksoo.

In 2004, an investment of 60 million EEK (more than 3.8 million euros) was made for the construction of the Rakvere Sports Centre, which included completely rebuilding the stadium for 12 million EEK.

On 3 August 2010, after his four-year doping ban, Justin Gatlin made his return to athletics in Rakvere, where he set the stadium record in 100 meters with a time of 10.24 seconds. Seven years later, Gatlin became the 100 meters world champion, taking the throne from Usain Bolt.
