We are proud to announce that Olympic athletes from all over the world will train with Technogym at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. This is the sixth time that Olympians will have the opportunity to hone their skills with Technogym, after Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Turin 2006, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. The central Olympic Village in Barra da Tijuca, a 2000-square meter facility constructed solely for the event, will be outfitted with the fitness and wellness company’s suite of state-of-the-art equipment. The company will also retrofit 15 centers and warm up areas that are designed to meet the sport-specific needs of the athletes.

In addition, Technogym will also install the innovative MyWellness Cloud System, a breakthrough platform that allows athletes to monitor their performance using their mobile devices. This cloud-based system also allows the athletes’ coaches and trainers to connect their personal training programs and monitor the athletes’ performance over time.

Carlos Nuzman, Rio 2016 Organizing Committee President, looks forward to the partnership. “The needs of athletes are always at the forefront of our thinking and so ensuring that we have top of the range equipment available for their use is vital. We are going to work together over the next two years.” Technogym will deploy a dedicated team of trainers and staff to participate in the design and installation, as well as provide ongoing training for equipment use.

“We are very proud to have been chosen for the 6th time as the official supplier of the Olympic Games,” says Nerio Alessandri, president and founder of Technogym. “This important achievement represents a victory for the whole Technogym team and a strong reference on our products’ innovation and quality standards.”

We at E-sports are excited about the partnership between Technogym and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Technogym’s best-in-class equipment, combined with the MyWellness Cloud system, will enable Olympians to reach their peak athletic performance.
