Technogym have been named as an official supplier for the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships and World Para Athletics Championships.

The company have signed a deal to become the fitness equipment provider for both events which are taking place at the Olympic Stadium in London.

It is the first time both championships have been held in the same place.

As part of the deal, Technogym will supply athletes with fitness equipment in training facilities.

They have previous supplied equipment at six editions of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including London 2012.

The firm has also recently agreed a deal with organisers of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
