World leading international fitness equipment supplier, Technogym, has been announced as the national supplier of the World Para Athletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships London 2017.
Technogym will supply athlete training facilities with state-of-the-art fitness equipment, providing first-class training facilities for competitors both in the build-up and during the Summer of World Athletics at the London Stadium. All athletes and their coaching teams will have access to the fully-branded equipment.
As suppliers to the last six editions of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including London 2012, the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and recently appointed by the Gold Coast for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Technogym is internationally recognised for setting the standard in athletic training, rehabilitation and wellness.
Niels de Vos, Championship Director for London 2017, said “Technogym has an excellent record of supplying high-class gym and fitness equipment at major international sporting events so we are delighted to have them on board. First rate facilities are vital to an athlete’s preparation and recovery and we want all athletes in London this summer to be fit and well before, during and after the Championships. I am really looking forward to seeing the Technogym facilities installed and in use.”
Steve Barton, Managing Director for Technogym UK, added: “We are incredibly proud to have been selected as the national supplier for the Championships. The athletes will have access to the necessary cardio, strength and recovery equipment for their warm up, warm down and any other training needs. Through our long-standing associations with elite sport and our dedicated Research and Development team, we are able to create some of the most advanced equipment and technology for the world’s top athletes. We look forward to seeing the athletes using our equipment throughout the Championships.”
The Summer of World Athletics will bring together more than 3000 world-class athletes from more than 200 countries, who will compete in 30 sessions across 20 jam-packed and action-fueled days as both the World Para Athletics Championships (14-23 July) and IAAF World Championships London 2017 (4-13 August) are hosted in London this summer.
