THE ORIGINAL TRACK CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE Rekortan, the original synthetic track, is Sport Group's global track brand and system. Rekortan was first installed at the Olympic Stadium, Berlin in 1969 and was later used for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, where 11 world records and 20 Olympic records were set. Since then Rekortan has gained the reputation as having the perfect balance, giving speed to sprinters and energy return to distance runners. Rekortan's history is filled with golden times including the 1984 Olympic Games at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where Carl Lewis raced and leapt to 4 x glittering golds. Designed for the current day athlete, Advanced Polymer Technology's renowned Rekortan® track system is a diverse, world class series of polyurethane running tracks that are unmatched in quality and performance. The Rekortan debut in 1969 revolutionized the track world with quality and innovation, forever crowning our systems as "the fast tracks". Four decades have passed and the Rekortan name continues a tradition of excellence, representing the most technologically advanced running surfaces in the world. 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW INDEX [ CLICK TO VIEW ] • REKORTAN TOPS THE DIAMOND LEAGUE LEADER BOARD WITH RETURN TO DOHA TRACK ► MARCH 3, 2020 • WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD WORLD CLASS SURFACES FOR MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS ► JULY 28, 2020 • HOW TO KEEP A TRACK RUNNING FOR 30 YEARS ► AUGUST 26, 2020 • REKORTAN SMART IS THE WORLD'S ONLY SMART TRACK ► AUGUST 26, 2020 • SAVING RUBBER & REDUCING MICROPLASTICS ► AUGUST 26, 2020 • 28% OF WORLD ATHLETICS CERTIFIED TRACKS ARE POLYTAN / REKORTAN ► SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • SOME OF OUR 2020 PROJECTS ►
