For Athletics competition a six-lane, banked 200-meter oval is installed on the arena floor. According to an IAAF press release, the athletics track at the ERGO Arena, the venue for the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships, was officially opened for the 2014 season on Sunday 16 February. Italian company Mondo made the indoor portable banked track with a Mondo Super X rubberized surface (13.5mm thick). The surface was also used at both the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics.[5]
