Developed in close collaboration with World Athletics - for which Mondo has been an official supplier since 1987 - the new generation of sports equipment and athletics gear made its first appearance at World Athletics Championships Doha 2019.
The new range, inspired by the Federation’s logo, has completely renewed the look of tracks and stadiums in high competition events, involving over 30 pieces of athletics equipment: from signs to obstacles, and high jump uprights and mattresses, just to mention a few.
In this restyling, several technical and technological innovations develop to benefit athletes, the public and Competition Judges have been added.
Enhanced safety, more visibility, more precision: let's take a look at some of the new technologies applied to athletics equipment.
In recent years, a real revolution has taken over the track, with motorized and automated athletics uprights.
This technological innovation - used both for pole vaulting and high jumping uprights - brings with it several innovations and advantages, in competitions and training:
For training, the height of the motorized athletics uprights can also be adjusted manually.
New-generation athletics hurdles rewards one of the most spectacular and exciting disciplines.
Maximum attention is paid to the athletes’ safety, and also to functionality and robustness.
Indeed, hurdlesare among the most stressed athletics equipment, both during competitions and during the storage and positioning phase.
To optimize and speed up this process, Mondo has developed a special design that allows athletics obstacles to be assembled and moved as a single element, saving space and time.
Equally important is the height and counterweight adjustment mechanism which, in addition to being practical, must accurately comply with competition standards: e.g. obstacle height for women's and men's athletics, and specific category.
Visibility means participation!
Mondo’s new range of athletics equipment introduced LED technology on the track for the first time.
The new LED lane markers developed for World Athletics are designed to ensure maximum legibility, even in poor light conditions.
The powerful brightness and the three backlit faces with the lane number ensure full visibility from different corners of the stadium.
From international athletics tracks to daily training, having resistant and high-level athletics equipment can really make a difference in bringing a wide audience closer to sport and the best athletes at the top!
