Mondo's state-of-the-art tracks offer superior shock absorption and optimal energy return. Their blend of speed and comfort minimize the occurrence of injuries, making them ideal for MJP's high-level training programs.

Designed to help athletes perform their best and chosen as the official track of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Mondotrack WS guarantees a uniform dynamic response across the entire track, minimizing the need for athletes to adjust their posture while running, thereby reducing fatigue.

For facilities with areas dedicated to conventional training and competition, Super X 720 is the perfect solution because it guarantees a shock absorption coefficient of 39% and meets World Athletics performance criteria.

Mondo's MondoLIFT PRO Platform System combines a microbial resistant, prefinished hardwood insert by Praters with drop zones made from Mondo's nonporous vulcanized rubber. The Drop zone subfloor includes patent-pending dampening foam technology that reduces sound and weight rebounds, providing athletes with a safe, hygienic surface for weight training.

"Michael Johnson Performance is both honored and proud to be able to formally partner with a historic brand like Mondo," said Bryan McCall, MJP headquarters director. "The new surfaces in our facility have a superior look, feel and performance that is unparalleled for both athletes and coaches."
