How SportsCooling started

Cooling experiences during Ironman World Championships in Kona (Hawaii) 2024 & 2025

In 2024, 7 elite professional triathletes used the prototypes of SportsCooling during the World Championships:

  • Tristan Olij (Netherlands)
  • Kacper Stępniak (Poland)
  • Arnaud Guilloux (France)
  • Pieter Heemeryck (Belgium)
  • Ben Kanute (USA)

In preparation before the race and during the race they reported:

  • substantial lower heart-rate
  • much lower core temperature
  • better ability to 'keep going'

In 2025 during the Woman's Ironman World Championships also several elite woman used SportsCooling:
