7 Glasgow Host City Glasgow s recent sporting journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Fresh from delivering the best-ever Commonwealth Games in 2014 and the 2015 FIG World rtistic Gymnastics, we are currently one of the world s top five sporting cities. Glasgow s success is built on our international events programme, our continued investment in world-class facilities such as the mirates rena and our commitment to increasing participation and securing a lasting legacy for future generations. Close to 200m has been spent on new and improved venues since 2009, as part of a citywide 1bn investment in infrastructure. These venues have been home to some of the world s biggest and best sporting events over the years. nd there is more to come including the Glasgow 2018 uropean, which we are all looking forward to. lso on the horizon are the 2017 Total BWF Badminton World, 2019 uropean thletics Indoor and 2019 uropean Short Course Swimming. But it is about much more than elite competition. t the same time as hosting world-class events the number of people in our city taking part in sport is now at an all-time high. The sport sector also supports around 10,000 jobs in the city and contributes approximately 370 million to Glasgow s thriving economy. Glasgow really is a sporting city like no other. Councillor Susan itken Leader of Glasgow City Council

8 Welcome to Scotland Scotland s sporting reputation has never been higher thanks in part to playing host to what is regarded as the best ever Commonwealth Games and a spectacular Ryder Cup in Glasgow 2014 reinforced Scotland s status as one of the world s leading major events destinations. But far from being just about sport, the Games were an essential element of a wider strategic goal to boost Scotland s key tourism and events industries. We used the Games as a catalyst to secure further major events for Scotland, both in the lead up to and beyond 2014, with a view to boosting the local and national economy and cementing Scotland s international profile as a world-class destination for business, events and tourism. Since the Commonwealth Games, a further 37 major events have been secured or delivered in Scotland, with an estimated economic impact of over 14m, showing just how important sport is to our economy. But it is not just sport that Scotland is famous for. We are renowned for our warm welcome and beautiful scenery, with Lonely Planet recently naming Scotland as one of the top three countries to visit. High praise indeed and a reflection of what makes Scotland so special. ileen Campbell SP Scottish Government inister for Sport

9 The Venue The SS Hydro on the banks of the River Clyde is widely regarded as one of the world s leading entertainment and sports venues. The multi-purpose indoor arena is located within the Scottish vent Campus and was officially opened in September With a capacity for sports events of up to 8,000 people, The SS Hydro was modelled on Greek and Roman amphitheatres. The 45m tall building, with its distinctive silver dome, stands higher than the neighbouring rmadillo. Translucent materials used in the facade give the building a colourful glow at night. The SS Hydro has been designed from the inside out. Spectators can enjoy outstanding viewing angles from every seat in the in the tiered and demountable seating system and the acoustics are of the highest standard helping cement its growing reputation. Since first opening its doors The SS Hydro has established itself as Scotland s premier venue of its kind and was ranked as the eighth-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales. Over the years it has also been home to some of the world s most prestigious sporting events including the gymnastics and netball at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. In 2015 it hosted the FIG World rtistic Gymnastics one of the most successful editions of the event. With attendances of close to 80,000 people, the event was credited with setting a new benchmark for gymnastics by FIG President, Professor Bruno Grandi. The SS Hydro was pivotal in this achievement, breaking convention with a number of innovations including an incredible ega Wall screen and an eye-catching podium design, both of which were well received by the gymnasts over 10 days of top class competition. The Glasgow 2018 uropean will see world-class gymnastics make a welcome return to this spectacular venue with urope s finest male and female gymnasts once again set to go for gold.
