The use of seca scales at the Olympic games has developed into a tradition. But this time seca is equipping not only the German team with scales, but all the martial arts and the entire Olympic Village .
seca is the supplier of all scales at the Olympic Summer Games 2012. In cooperation with one of Great Britain’s largest dealers, seca won the contract with the Olympic Organisers! Now athletes from around the world can rely on exact measurements when they go for the gold from 27 July to 12 August 2012 in London.
Even the way to signing the contract was an athletic achievement. After filling out the enormous bid documents, seca made it onto the short list. Then came a product demonstration for the martial arts management team and other officials from the Olympic Organisers. In the bid acceptance that made seca the scale supplier for the Olympic Summer Games 2012, the decision-makers emphasised that the seca 360° wireless technology impressed them and gave seca the decisive advantage.
Fighting weight documented in writing
The column scale seca 703 wireless will be used with the seca 465 wireless printer mainly for martial arts such as boxing, judo, tai kwando and wrestling. The seca devices will verify the athletes’ weights before their matches in order to determine their weight classes. The print-out of results on thermal paper documents everything in black and white for the referees. The flat scale seca 634 was selected for weightlifters. With a weight capacity of 300 kg, the scale has no problem weighing the super-heavy athletes, whose weights start at 105 kg.
Furthermore, the Olympic Village will be equipped with seca scales so that all Olympic athletes can keep an eye on their weight.
