In a factory located in northern Italy, vibrant purple sections of vulcanized rubber track are being manufactured for the Paris Olympics, aiming for one clear objective: records.
Following the staggering success of three world records and 12 Olympic marks set on the Tokyo track, anticipation mounts for further record-breaking performances at the iconic Stade de France.
Hence, Mondo, the longstanding provider of tracks since the 1976 Montreal Olympics, embarked on a redesign journey post-Tokyo to ensure unparalleled quality for the world’s fastest athletes.
Track and pools expected
Mondo, renowned for releasing recordings since 1976, exhibits an unwavering commitment to quality, recently innovating track technology for the Paris Olympics.
With enhanced elasticity and performance, athletes can expect historic accomplishments. Under Maurizio Stroppiana’s supervision, the track at Stade de France promises quick and accurate installation, despite weather constraints. Stroppiana is the vice president of Mondo’s sports division.
Maurizio Stroppiana said, “The athletes will find this track to be more reactive and better suited for their competition.”
Mondo is scheduled to introduce a new track at the legendary Stade de France, which is best known for hosting the 2003 world championships in athletics, for the third time.
Under Stroppiana’s supervision, the track is installed by first placing it on an asphalt base and then adhering to it using adhesive, which guarantees both quickness and accuracy.
The team intends to work nonstop, making the most of every hour to do quality work even in the face of impending weather and schedule constraints.
