Huntington Beach, CA – April 17, 2013 –  At TYR, our mission has always been to provide athletes with products they need to obtain peak performance through innovation and design.  TYR Endurance Sport is no exception.

TYR formulated a high caliber hydration system that combines endurance, performance and recovery ingredients to enable athletes to maximize and sustain their full potential for prolonged periods of time.

“TYR is all about creating innovative products to help athletes push their limits and reach their full potential,” expressed Matthew DiLorenzo, chief executive officer of TYR. “The current sports drink industry has not seen innovation in over 30 years, and athletes need more than what is being offered by conventional sports drinks.  TYR Endurance Sport takes the traditional sports drink to the next level.  It is the first of its kind to combine EMIQ, Carbohydrate Complex and EGCG in a flavorful hydrating format.”

Quercetin is an antioxidant that promotes the body’s natural ability to manage inflammation, both during and after the exertion, for more stamina and faster recovery.  TYR Endurance Sport incorporates a superior form of Quercetin called Enzymatically Modified Isoquercitrin (EMIQ) that is 100% water soluble and has been shown in pre-clinical studies to be absorbed by the body at higher rates than other forms of Quercetin.

Carbohydrate Complex utilizes multiple gastrointestinal transport mechanisms to deliver more performance without digestive side effects.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a catechin commonly found in Green Tea Extract that supports human metabolism, improving efficiency and increasing absorption of other ingredients.

Not to be confused with basic sports drinks that offer hydration but no functional benefits, TYR Endurance Sport is strategically built to generate and sustain performance under the most enduring athletic conditions.

TYR Endurance Sport is currently offered in three delicious flavors; Punch, Limao and Orancia.  Drank by the likes of Ironman champion TJ Tollakson and 4X Olympic gold medalist Matt Grevers, this beverage is intended for high intensity training where excuses are not an option.

“I am very discerning when it comes to my sports drinks since my body needs optimal fuel for \ training and competition,” said Ironman champion TJ Tollakson.  “TYR Endurance Sport provides cutting edge performance nutrition to help me achieve optimum results from my training and racing with flavors that I love. The taste is sweet, yet not overbearing and has the perfect amount of calories per serving delivered through multiple carbohydrate transport systems. I’m staying in front by choosing TYR Endurance Sport.”

TYR Endurance Sport is a breakthrough in sports science, providing athletes with the Full- Spectrum Formula they need to hydrate, perform and recover.

Huntington Beach, Calif. – December 21, 2012 – TYR Sport, Inc. is pleased to announce a renewed agreement as the official sponsor of the Danish Swimming Federation for swimming through the year 2016.  TYR has held a successful partnership with the Danish Swimming Federation since 2009.

The Danish Swimming Federation has seen steady success over the last two years at the 2011 World Championships, 2012 Olympics Games, and the recent 2012 European Short Course Championships.  Most notably, Danish TYR athlete Jeanette Ottesen Gray became World Champion in 2011 in the Women’s 100m Freestyle.

“”We are thrilled that the Danish Federation and TYR Sport have decided to renew their partnership. It is an important recognition of the quality of TYR’s product and the work that we started 4 years ago.

Other major accomplishments by the Danish Federation include Ottesen Gray winning the 2011 European Short Course Championship in the 100m butterfly.  At the same competition, the Danish women captured the 4x50m medley relay gold.  In 2012, Ottesen Gray won the 50m butterfly at the European Short Course Championship and was apart of the winning 4x50m Danish freestyle relay team.

“The Danish Swimming Federation is very pleased that the partnership with TYR will continue until 2016.  We have been very satisfied with our relationship with TYR since 2009, and are happy to continue our partnership in the years to come,” stated Pia Holmen, Director of the Danish Swimming Federation.

Huntington Beach, CA – July 30, 2012 – TYR athlete Matt Grevers set a new Olympic Record and took home the Gold Medal for USA in the 100m Backstroke with his time of 52.18 at the London Games.  Grevers won the Silver Medal in the 2008 Beijing Games, and was the clear favorite heading into today’s race as he finished first in both the preliminary and semi-final heats yesterday.  Grevers’ time was just shy of his textile best of 52.08, which he set back in June at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, NE.

This is the first individual Olympic Gold for Grevers, and brings his total Olympic medal count to five.  Grevers was also apart of the Silver Medal winning 400m freestyle relay team here in London, where he swam the second leg in the preliminaries. His time of 47.54 was the fastest split of the American team in prelims, and helped qualify the U.S. in second position.  Grevers also has two gold medals for his participation in the 400m medley relay and 400m freestyle relay in the Beijing Games.

On the women’s side, TYR athlete Amanda Weir helped the U.S. women take Bronze in the 400m freestyle relay.  Weir also has two silver medals from the 2004 Athens Games in 400m freestyle relay and 400m medley relay, bringing her total Olympic medal count to three.
