"Über ihren Köpfen baumeln Sandsäcke in verschiedenen Größen und Formen. Die Hälfte der Halle nimmt ein Flachring mit weißen Seilen ein".
Is this a special type of boxing ring? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

training ring?
Explanation:
Hallo MTurner!
You're quite right, this is a special boxing ring. It's for training purposes. Its dimensions differ from the standard-sized boxing ring. If it's also lower in size (flach = low), I haven't been able to find out yet. Wikipedia "boxing ring" just mentions standard dimension.
