Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Gymnastics Venue Enhanced by Coatings
Millions of sports fans will be tuning in this summer to watch one of the most popular events of the Olympic Games – gymnastics. The Ariake Gymnastics Centre, incorporating multiple Dow (NYSE: DOW) technologies, will be home to gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline competitions for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Infrastructure solutions, including technologies for coatings and wiring, are expected to help optimize building performance and protect this temporary Olympic venue during Tokyo 2020 and for an additional 10-year period after when it will be used as a state-of-the-art convention and exhibition center[1].
“One of the key themes of Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is legacy – from retrofitting the Tokyo 1964 venues to thinking ahead about how the new and temporary venues can serve the city and its residents for the next decade,” said Mike Reed, vice president of Dow Olympic and Sports Solutions. “At Dow, we are passionate about delivering a positive impact through our materials science; with innovative solutions, sustainability commitment and strategic partnerships, we can achieve this common goal.”
