From the Montreal Olympics in 1976 to the London Olympics in 2012 via the European and world outdoor and indoor championships, Pan-American Games, and hundreds of international meetings, the Mondo brand has been involved in numerous athletics events over the past 60-plus years.

Mondo has witnessed the achievements of athletes who have written pages of sporting history - over 250 track and field records broken on the surface produced at the plant in Gallo d'Alba, a name that is inextricably linked to the past, present, and future of athletics.

The past is recorded in history, the future is Rio 2016, and the present is called the IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015.

The Chinese capital was already the centre of world athletics in 2008 when it hosted the Olympic Games in the futuristic Bird's Nest stadium. It was here that Mondotrack was installed for the first time, a highly innovative track on which, at its debut, five world records were set.

The local organising committee of the IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015, decided to have the Bird's Nest facilities completely refurbished and, once again, to install Mondotrack.

The IAAF and Mondo announced the renewal of their partnership, which is to last until 2024.

Mondo has been a partner of the International Association of Athletics Federations since 1987.

In 1999, Mondo was one of the first companies to obtain an IAAF Certified Athletic Track Products certificate.

Mondotrack was chosen for most IAAF World Athletics Series events.

Once again the Mondo brand will play a prominent role at the Olympic Games.

Mondo will lay 16,000m² of Mondotrack WS, the entire surface of the main track and the warm-up tracks, in conjunction with its historic Brazilian partner Playpiso.
