Runway is indispensable facilities, the Olympic arena from sand to develop into today's runway in granular polymer material made by bonding a integrated rubber runway, runway under repeated and often at the time of the competition, nail resistance, impact resistance and grasp the all-weather resistance torque and the structure of the sandy soil than in the past the runway has a revolutionary leap!
