DOHA: As the World Athletics Championships unfold in Doha, MONDO and the IAAF are already looking to the future, announcing today that their partnership, which began in 1987, will continue until 2024.
MONDO S P A has renewed its contract as official IAAF World Athletics Series supplier in the ‘Athletics equipment and athletics tracks’ category for another five years.
The agreement signed today between IAAF and MONDO illustrates again the central position the Italian company has in the world of athletics. MONDO will provide sports surfaces for all World Athletics Series (WAS) events, including supplying the tracks and athletics equipment for the World Athletics Championships in Oregon in 2021 and Budapest in 2023, as well as for the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing next year.
“Our goal is simple: we want to help athletes to improve and achieve their personal best. We are dedicated to ensuring that every athlete can improve their results and their performance, even if only by a tenth of a second. This is why we listen to athletes and coaches and are constantly working on optimising our products – to help sportsmen and women everywhere achieve success,” said Maurizio Stroppiana, MONDO Sport & Flooring Director.
Sebastian Coe, the President of the IAAF, added: “We have always been impressed by MONDO’s company-wide commitment to helping athletes achieve their personal best and maximise their performance. The IAAF is grateful for MONDO’s long-term commitment to athletics and enthusiastically welcomes its decision to continue our partnership for many years to come.”
MONDO created a unique pink track at Khalifa International Stadium for the championships in Doha, supplying 17,000m2 of its premium MONDOTRACK WS, and is currently installing the athletics tracks for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
