To accommodate the more than 10,500 athletes who arrived in Athens, Greece, for Olympic competition, new athletic facilities and an Olympic Village needed to be constructed before the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics. Tarkett Commercial supplied flooring for many of these new facilities -- including the locations where basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, softball, handball, boxing, equestrian, weightlifting, fencing, field hockey, tennis and shooting events are being held.
Additionally, areas within the Olympic Village -- such as the doping control building, the training building, the Naval, Army and Police academies, and athletes' bedrooms -- feature the company's products.
