MILAN, Jan. 27 (Class Editori) - The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, taking place from July 24 to August 9, chose Technogym as the official and exclusive supplier of digital equipment and technologies for the training of athletes.
It is the eighth time that the Nerio Alessandri's group participate in the Olympic Games, after Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Turin 2006, Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Pyeongchang 2018.
In Tokyo, Technogym will set up 30 athletic training centers, including the main one: the Olympic and Paralympic Village. Other centers will be located within the facilities dedicated to competitions, available to all athletes participating in the games and equipped with a wide range of equipment able to cover the athletic preparation needs for each sport.
Overall, Technogym will supply approximately 1,200 equipment, available to approximately 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from over 200 different countries and engaged in 33 Olympic and 22 Paralympic disciplines. In addition, the Cesena-based group will provide a team of professional trainers to manage athletic training centers, support athletes and offer all related services (gym layout, installation and technical assistance).
Tokyo 2020 athletes will have a selection of the best and most innovative products for athletic training, integrated with the Mywellness cloud system: the Technogym digital platform for training management that can offer athletes the opportunity to connect via the web to the own personal training program and to access training data on both equipment and on your mobile devices. Inside the training centers, athletes will find cutting-edge solutions such as the Skill line, born from Technogym's experience as the official supplier of the last seven Olympics and sports champions from all over the world.
In the first nine months of last year the group founded by Alessandri recorded a 7 percent growth in turnover, to 465 million euros, mainly driven by sales in the Asia Pacific area, including China, Japan and Australia, which increased by 25 percent against 17 percent in North America and 1 percent in Europe, which however represents half of the turnover.
