Track and field has produced an abundance of athletes over the years. However, the sport itself has not witnessed many changes from a core perspective, which has occasionally become a source of concern for a few stars in terms of the audience. But the 2024 season will bring an entirely new purple tint to the track for the Paris Olympics, as updated by the Paris 2024’s Instagram page.
In Paris, the popular Stade de France has changed the tracks from its typical brick-red tint to a purple shade. This track will host the Olympics and Paralympics, and the official Instagram post says it’s the first time officials have used this color.
The viral social media post also included a few photos from the arena itself. The first image depicts a side perspective of the new purple track, where athletes will take turns during longer sprints. The following frame displays the gorgeous shade of the grid, and the vivid tone of the new track is enough to brighten anyone’s day.
The rest of the photos show an aerial view of the stadium, demonstrating how flawless the track appears. Paris 2024 also expressed gratitude to Mondo Sport & Flooring for their significant contributions to the stadium’s new style, stating:
“The purple track. No more red-brick clay color, our Olympic & Paralympic track is going purple for the first time ever in the Stade de France. This new one is supplied by @mondo_sport, Official Supporteur of #Paris2024. Records are made to be broken. Hope this track will help.”
The caption of the Instagram post also included an encouraging word for the competitors, as many expect them to set records at this stunning and highly awaited site. However, when fans acquired their first sight of the new track, they were taken aback.
“That is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see the history that will be made here!”
The Olympics’ official Instagram account has joined the fans in appreciating the new appearance.
