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:

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

- better ability to 'keep going'
In 2025 during the Woman's Ironman World Championships also several elite woman used SportsCooling:
