The Innovative Purple Track for the Paris Olympics: A Game-Changer by Italian Firm Mondo

The innovative purple track designed by Italian firm Mondo for the upcoming Paris Olympics is not just a visually stunning addition to the Games, but also promises to revolutionize athletic performances on the track.

Breaking away from the traditional terracotta, the Mondotrack EB features a bold purple hue that is set to provide maximum contrast and enhance the visual experience for both athletes and spectators. Alain Blondel, head of athletics and para-athletics events at the Paris Olympics, explains that the choice of two shades of purple is aimed at improving the clarity and appeal of TV broadcasts, ensuring that the athletes and their performances are highlighted like never before.

But it’s not just about looks – the Mondotrack EB is engineered for unprecedented speed. Mondo claims that this track is the fastest surface ever made for the Olympics, with a design that reduces energy loss for athletes and optimizes their performance. Maurizio Stroppiana, vice-president of Mondo’s sports division, believes that this innovation could lead to new world records being set in Paris.

In addition to its speed and visual appeal, the Paris Olympics track also boasts sustainable and eco-friendly credentials. Giorgio Lesage, Mondo’s sustainability and innovation chief, reveals that up to 50 percent of the track’s components are renewable or recycled, showcasing a commitment to sustainability without compromising on performance.

With a legacy of excellence and innovation in sports surface technology, Mondo’s Mondotrack EB is set to make a significant impact on the upcoming Paris Olympics. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking track and the athletes who will compete on it.
