SenseCore announces an official partnership with Jan Frodeno, Olympic triathlon gold medallist and one of the favourites for this year’s Ironman World Championship, taking place October 11th in Kona, Hawaii.

Speaking about the latest Human High Performance athlete to join SenseCore, Alexandros Giannakis, CEO SenseCore said, “We are very proud to start a collaboration with Jan, one of the best triathletes in the world. It is fulfilling for everyone at SenseCore that another Olympic Champion decides to use SenseCore products for training and recovery in order to raise even further his world-class performance levels. This is the best testament to the hard work undertaken during the last few years by the entire team and our partners.” Giannakis added.

Jan’s sporting career began as a swimmer in Cape Town, South Africa, where he grew up. As a teenager he joined the Clifton Surf Lifesavers and started competing on the beaches of South Africa. He had to sell his bike in order to buy a plane ticket to Europe to race in the German league where he first tasted success. When Frodeno became U-23 vice world champion in 2004 he knew he wanted to become a professional Triathlete.

After a few successes on the World Cup scene, Jan won the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He continued to win numerous World Championship events and moved on from the Olympic distance to the Ironman distance with the ultimate goal to win the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.

“Training and recovering with SenseCore products allows many new ways of tracking my body in extreme conditions having access to medical-grade electrocardiogram, my respiration pattern and rate, my body temperature, sleep patterns and facts, etc. Most of these data were obtainable in a hospital environment until now, and it opens up a whole set of new opportunities being able to track them on a continuous basis.” Jan Frodeno said. “I am very excited to be a SenseCore Human High Performance partner and I am confident this partnership will support bringing my strength and endurance levels to new heights.” Frodeno added.
