Beijing Olympics Triathlon

We had been working hard to try and get at least some of our bottles in with the USA Triathlon Team (all other categories were previously sponsored) to give them that little bit extra advantage for their bid for the gold in Beijing.

Thanks to USAT our bottles have been passed onto the athletes but I do hear that it will ultimately come down to the individuals sponsors as to if they can use our bottles or not. Gee, I hope they can.

It just came to our attention today that by way of a friend that a shop in Hong Kong (TriSports Hong Kong Limited) who is carrying some of our products provided some tri equipment for this magnificent display for the corporate sponsor of the Chinese National Triathlon Team's top athlete Daniel Lee Chi Wo . It looks like they may be using our Rocket Bottles at the Beijing Olympics.

A friend of Rocket Science Sports saw this display at the Causeway

Bay MTR (subway) station in Hong Kong and alerted us.

These are items used by Daniel Lee Chi Wo. I looked up his name in Wikipedia and this is what I found out: Lee is the leading triathlete in Hong Kong, being the first triathlon representative from Hong Kong in the Sydney Olympic Games. Lee competed at the second Olympic triathlon at the 2004 Summer Olympics. He placed forty-third with a total time of 2:03:30.39. During the 2006 Asian Games he claimed the silver medal.

Well, so I guess that is the risk of doing business internationally. With an aero advantage of up to 53 seconds per 40k over standard bottles I only hope that our American team can match him in their choice of bottles. We have done all that we can.

In the spirit of international competition I do wish all the athletes superb health and hope we all see one heck of a fight for the gold!

Cheers!
