Limei’s AdaptiveFit Flooring features an extra-soft underlayment (12mm thickness) with 70% shock absorption to reduce fall injuries, and a textured surface with a friction coefficient of ≥0.8 for enhanced stability. The flooring is also color-coded with high-contrast court lines to assist athletes with visual processing differences.
The first 10 installations are underway in Kenya, India, Brazil, and Mexico, with each center receiving 500-800 square meters of flooring. Limei will also train local coaches and facility managers on flooring maintenance and adaptive sports programming. The partnership aligns with Special Olympics’ “Unified Sports” initiative, which promotes inclusion through sports.
“Every athlete deserves a safe, supportive surface to train and compete on,” said Ms. Mary Davis, CEO of Special Olympics International. “Limei’s AdaptiveFit Flooring is a game-changer for our athletes, and we’re grateful for their commitment to inclusion.”
The remaining 20 installations will be completed by the end of 2027, benefiting over 10,000 Special Olympics athletes worldwide.
