As an organization, we are committed to empowering athletes and helping them achieve their personal goals. We are dedicated to making their dreams a reality,” said Maurizio Stroppiana, Vice President of Sport at Mondo Group.
The new Mondo Track surface, specially developed for Paris 2024, will be installed at the iconic Stade de France starting in April 2024, which will mark the third time Mondo has renovated the Stade de France athletics track with its latest track surface.
The Paris 2024 Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be able to rely on a Mondo prefabricated track which will guarantee quality support for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Mondo also will provide the sports equipment necessary for the athletics disciplines of Paris 2024, including hurdles, mattresses, high jump and pole vault poles and bars, departure cones, and lane markers.
The legacy of the products Mondo supplies for Paris 2024 is essential, which is why Mondo is committed to ensuring the second life of all the products and equipment it will provide. In collaboration with Paris 2024, part of the sports equipment will be redistributed as a legacy. Other pieces will be checked, reconditioned, and reused by Mondo and offered for future sporting events.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Athletic Performance
Mondo’s meticulously crafted athletics equipment and athletics tracks for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 are designed with utmost care to empower Track & Field athletes to realize their dreams.
We deploy our athlete-centered design methodology to enhance performance and sustainability through biomechanics, safety and closed-loop recycling. Leveraging the intuition and expertise of Mondo’s researchers, the company employs modern techniques, such as machine learning, topological optimization, and simulated parametric analysis. This allows for the effective study of the interaction between the athletics track and the foot of a virtual athlete, leading to faster and more effective improvements. By integrating vast amounts of data and leveraging machine learning algorithms, Mondo accurately predicts outcomes and refines its designs. Through this process, Mondo optimizes the track’s structural design, maximizing energy return, shock absorption, and traction.
When training or competing with Mondo, safety and performance are intertwined. Mondo’s products ensure a secure environment by providing reliable responses and proper physical protection.
Competing at all levels on a Mondo track signifies a dedication to training and performance, leading to extraordinary results. The combination of cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship has made Mondo equipment and track surfaces synonymous with excellence in the world of athletics.
Committed to the Environment
Mondo’s tracks are produced at the company’s factory in Gallo d’Alba, in the province of Cuneo (Italy). The factory is certified according to ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management standards.
Mondo Track, as all Mondo athletics tracks, are prefabricated, therefore free of partially encrusted microplastic granules. The vulcanization process allows the creation of products in which recycled rubber powders are permanently bonded to a polymer matrix. This prevents their detachment and release of microplastics.
Global Support for Athletes and Sporting Events
As Paris 2024 approaches, Mondo remains steadfast in its mission to support athletes, foster inclusive participation, and contribute to the overall success of the Games with a goal of creating a legacy that transcends boundaries, improves lives, and inspires the world.
This collaboration signifies Mondo’s extensive involvement in global sporting events, demonstrating its enduring dedication to athletes and international competitions.
