Mondo the ultimate athletics track provider for the world’s major events

Pundits voted the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest a stunning success.

US sprinter Melissa Jefferson-Wooden was the star of the show – and a very spectacular show it was – with world-leading 100m and 200m times of 10.62 and 21.47.

In addition, there were six national records across the spectrum of events as well as a plethora of personal and season bests.

And all these feats at the Gyula Zsivotzky National Athletics Centre were delivered on its Mondo athletics track.

Mondo was also an Official Global Supplier in Budapest, once again confirming its role as the technical partner of choice for the world's most prestigious athletics events.

In the Hungarian capital, Mondo provided everything in the sport equipment field from hurdles and landing mats to distance indicators and implement carts.

The partnership between World Athletics and Mondo, which has the status of World Athletics Supplier, goes back almost four decades to 1987 but has never been stronger.

Budapest provided one of major the highlights of 2026 but during the last 12 months, Mondo has enhanced its position as the global leader in its field by supplying and installing athletics tracks in stadia staging many other prestigious major championships around the world.

• In March this year, the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 2026 took place on the Arena Torun’s Mondo Sportflex™ Super X 720 athletics track.
   
• The 2026 African Athletics Championships in May were held for the first time in Ghana with the University of Ghana Sports Stadium in Accra, and its adjacent warmup area both having Sportflex™ Super X 720 athletics tracks.
   
• During the European summer, Mondo’s Sportflex™ Super X 720 athletics track was also the surface of choice for the athletics events at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, held at the refurbished Scotstoun Stadium from 27July-1 August.
   
• The 2026 Mediterranean Games were staged in Taranto, Italy and athletes there had to cope with unseasonally hot weather for late August and early September. Temperatures soared up to the high 30s but the Mondo athletics track in the Stadio Giuseppe Valente proved itself to be a surface for all seasons and was more than capable of supporting the athletes striving to produce their best in the challenging condition.
   
• Santo Domingo was the destination for this year’s Central American and Caribbean Games and the Sportflex™ Super X 720 in the Dominican Republic capital’s Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez helped produce some magnificent performances from the region’s top stars.
   
• Eight of the 15 Diamond League meetings were also staged on Mondo athletics tracks along with four of the eight World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meetings.

The countdown has now started towards 2027.

Athletes at many top meetings next year will have Mondo athletics tracks under their feet, including:

• European Athletics Indoor Championships, Valencia (ESP), 4-7 March
• Asian Athletics Championships, Xiamen (CHN), 25-30 May
• World Athletics Championships, Beijing (CHN), 10-19 September
