For Mondo, the IAAF's official track supplier, Beijing's Bird's Nest stadium will always hold special memories.

Five world records tumbled on their innovative new Mondotrack laid down for the 2008 Beijing Olympics which was ignited by the incomparable Jamaican sprint superstar Usain Bolt.

Now, some seven years on, the world leaders in track design are returning to the iconic Chinese venue to lay down a new track for the forthcoming 2015 IAAF World Championships from August 22-30, where, once again, Mondo will seek to push technological advancements in track design to the next level.

"To optimise a similar revolution to Mondotrack is a big challenge for Mondo," explains Andrea Vallauri, who leads the Mondo Spa Sport&Flooring Division.

"The material we are installing now in the Bird's Nest is an evolution of the previous Mondotrack that should further contribute to improve the athlete's sport performances."

Commonly accepted

Mondo, supplier of every Olympic track since 1976 and the vast majority of IAAF World Championships, is commonly accepted by athletes and coaches as a world leader in its field with Vallauri insisting their unique pre-fabricated manufactured designs set it apart from the rest in its field.

"We are the only company that manufactures its track surfaces prefabricated, and this guarantees that the performance characteristics of the track are constant."

Vallauri says that the strength of prefabricated tracks is that the material is uniform and consistent.

In early March, Mondo carried out some minor repairs following the cold, harsh winter in the Chinese capital before patching and levelling the base to comply with the strict tolerance required by the IAAF for such a top-level facility.

In late March, the installation work for the Mondotrack material began.

The line marking of the track was carried out in April and, by mid-May, work on the track was complete and fully certified by the IAAF. Vallauri refused to make any predictions about the winners at the 2015 edition, but is simply secure in the knowledge that Mondo will provide the fastest possible track for Usain Bolt, David Rudisha, and all the world's top athletes.
