SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - July 18, 2022 - PRLog -- Mondo is the Official Supplier of athletic equipment for the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, which are taking place in Eugene, Oregon, now through July 24. WCH Oregon22 is the first World Athletics championships to be held in the United States.
As Official Supplier of athletic equipment, Mondo is providing the championships with its line of sports athletic equipment. Featuring a modern, dynamic design, the line was designed by Mondo in cooperation with World Athletics. It made its debut during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and was again used in March 2022 for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Belgrade 22.
The athletics equipment line that Mondo is supplying for Oregon 2022 comprises more than 50 different types of athletic equipment, for a total of approximately 700 items, including lane marker cones, hurdles, drop zones, high jump and pole vault stands and landing areas.
Several of the products feature elements designed to enhance the viewing experience for fans in the stands and those watching on TV by providing visual information about the competitions.
