The Olympic Games epitomize athletic prowess, with the running track emerging as a pivotal, albeit understated, element influencing athletes’ performances. In recent years, a deliberate shift towards the utilization of prefabricated running tracks has become evident at the Olympics.
Here is the list of Olympic Games where prefabricatedrunning tracks were used:
Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics
London 2012 Summer Olympics
Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics
Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics
Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics
Tokyo 2020/2021 Summer Olympics
Among them, the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, London 2012 Summer Olympics, Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics and Tokyo 2020/2021 Summer Olympics use prefabricated rubber running tracks from the well-known brand Mondo. And the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics uses prefabricated rubber flooring mat produced by our Huadong Track.
This strategic choice is underpinned by a fusion of factors, each instrumental in enhancing the overall success of the Games. So why did they choose a prefabricated rubber running track for the Olympics instead of other tracks? Let’s introduce the reasons from the advantages of prefabricated running track, especially prefabricated rubber running track.
Prefabricated running tracks have revolutionized athletic infrastructure, incorporating meticulous design to address the biomechanical needs of athletes. The following advantages elucidate why these tracks have become the preferred choice for professional sports:
The three-dimensional mesh internal structure of prefabricated rubber tracks ensures exceptional elasticity, strength, toughness, and shock absorption. This design effectively minimizes athlete muscle fatigue and micro-injuries, prioritizing athlete well-being.
Combining sports science and material science, the prefabricated running track adopts factory prefabricated technology, which can fully meets and reflect the performance needs of sports participants for the track, and can also meet the testing standards of the WA.
The upper layer, made of high-glue-content, high-density, and highly elastic technological formula, exhibits long-term resistance to ultraviolet light and changing weather conditions. The pressed litchi pattern surface design enhances anti-slip and anti-wear properties, ensuring durability under diverse climate conditions.
The prefabricated rubber track, constructed from environmentally friendly natural and synthetic rubber, eliminates toxic and harmful substances from its materials. During construction, the use of a small amount of environmentally friendly glue ensures a fast, safe, and eco-friendly bonding process, prioritizing the well-being of sports participants.
The elastic-plastic structure of the bottom layer, coupled with micro-air cushions and reinforcement ribs, offers effective shock absorption, smooth energy transition, and continuous energy feedback. This unique design enhances sports performance while ensuring safety, making it suitable for professional competitions.
Prefabricated rubber tracks exhibit excellent resistance to acid rain, alkali, ultraviolet rays, and mold under normal climate conditions. The tracks maintain anti-skid performance in wet conditions, meeting the stringent requirements of professional competitions even in challenging weather.
Prefabricated rubber tracks, pre-formed in the factory, require minimal manpower and machinery for installation on a dense foundation. The convenience of installation, coupled with the longevity of more than ten years, makes these tracks a cost-effective and efficient choice for sports facilities.
Prefabricated running tracks offer a level of customization that allows organizers to tailor the track to meet specific requirements. Whether it’s adjusting the track’s banked curves or incorporating specific technologies for timing and measurement, prefabricated tracks provide a flexible solution that can be adapted to the unique needs of each Olympic event.
The professionalism, safety features, environmental consciousness, weather resistance, and ease of installation contribute to the widespread adoption of prefabricated rubber tracks in professional sports. While the initial investment may be higher due to the use of high-quality materials, the long-term benefits, including durability and performance retention, make them a valuable investment in the realm of athletic infrastructure.
