Exclusive: How COROS Powered Alex Yee to Olympic Gold in Paris

IRVINE, California / AUGUST 19th, 2024 — COROS athlete Alex Yee claimed Olympic gold in the men's triathlon in Paris, solidifying his place as one of the sport’s elite. After earning silver in the 2020 Tokyo Games, Alex spent the last three years training at an incredibly high level with his targets set on gold for Paris.

Sitting around 10 seconds back as the race neared its finish, Alex relied on his training once again. "I had kept things in control for the most part...I conserved just enough energy to provide one last major kick. I had done this in training, so I felt confident I could replicate it again."

Alex’s success wasn’t just a result of his physical prowess but also the advanced data-driven insights provided by COROS devices, including the PACE 3, HR Monitor, and DURA. With these tools, Alex and his team were able to optimize his training, focusing on metrics such as heart rate, power output, and recovery times to fine-tune every aspect of his preparation.

We’ve delved into Alex’s training and race data to showcase how this 26-year-old British athlete achieved Olympic glory, offering an exclusive look at the technological edge that powered his performance. Read the full story HERE.

We encourage you to share Alex's inspiring journey and the role of technology in his success with your audience. While Alex is not conducting interviews at this time, we can facilitate responses to any questions you may have, providing a unique opportunity for exclusive insights.
