BSW has installed a striking new synthetic track at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill campus in Barbados.
Visitors looking towards the horizon from campus will notice two impressive sights: the glistening blue of the Caribbean Sea and the blue and yellow synthetic track on which UWI students and various high-performance athletes have been training.
Sports flooring manufacturer BSW provided the synthetic flooring based on the blue and yellow national flag of Barbados.
The new training site, installed in early 2013, includes a 400m Regupol AG running track, a water pit for the steeplechase, facilities for javelin, discus and hammer throwing, as well as long jump, triple jump and pole vaulting facilities.
A special feature of this running track is that the straight sections on both sides of the track have been extended. This means that it can be used for sprints and the 100 and 110m hurdle races. The reason behind this is that the track has a seafront location and the wind direction changes from morning to evening.
BSW previously installed a 400m track in the Usain Bolt Stadium of the partner university in Jamaica, where both students and members of the famous Racers Track Club, including Usain Bolt, have been running on the same blue BSW surface.
Since the construction of a blue Regupol synthetic track in the Berlin Olympic stadium, a trend for running tracks in blue and other colours has emerged. BSW is installing running tracks worldwide which do not have the traditional red surface.
