Irvine, CA – July 24, 2018 – TYR Sport is proud to announce the signing of 4x Olympic Medalist, 9x World Championship Medalist & World & American Record Holder Simone Manuel.

“My identity as a citizen, a Black Woman, an athlete and as a creative who wants to use her platform to effect positive change is multi-faceted, and a partnership with TYR represents all of those elements,” stated Simone. “Both TYR and I share a passion for winning and a common vision for growing the sport of swimming by connecting with people and encouraging them to dream beyond traditional assumptions. I am so thrilled to partner with them.”

“Simone Manuel is a force to be reckoned with, both in and out of the water,” began Matt DiLorenzo, Chief Executive Officer of TYR Sport. “Watching her become one of the world’s most groundbreaking names in the sport of swimming has been nothing short of inspiring. As a brand, we could not be more proud to welcome Simone to our growing family of TYR sponsored athletes. We are confident that in working together we will create products that not only take performance to the next level, but ultimately continue to change the course of history.”

At just twenty years old sprint specialist Simone Manuel turned heads at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she earned gold medals in both the 100m freestyle and the 4x100m medley. Her impressive finish in the 100m solidified Simone as the first African-American woman to win an individual Olympic gold in swimming. During this performance she also set a new Olympic and American record. In addition, Simone won two silver medals for her swims in both the 50m freestyle and the 4x100m freestyle relay. As a former Stanford University athlete she holds three world records for her relay team participation and is a six-time individual NCAA Champion.

Simone’s partnership with TYR marks the first time an inclusion rider has been integrated into an athlete sponsorship agreement. Through this stipulation Simone ensures that her partners extend meaningful opportunities to traditionally underrepresented groups and that diversity be reflected in the creative efforts she pursues with the brand. TYR believes in the importance of diversity in the workplace and is proud to support Simone in her efforts to champion inclusion as both a best practice in business and a central tenet of her identity as a professional athlete.

Since its inception three decades ago, TYR Sport has grown to exist as one of the world’s most recognizable swimming and triathlon brands. Founded in Huntington Beach, California, the American company has garnered industry success for major technologies including the celebrated Avictor technical suit. Today, TYR has become synonymous with the most groundbreaking athletes in swimming and continues to be the choice of champions.  

As a member of team TYR, Simone will join sponsored swimmers including Olympic Medalists Katie Ledecky, Ryan Lochte, Dana Vollmer, Matt Grevers, Cody Miller, Leah Smith, Lia Neal, Tom Shields and Kelsi Dahlia, as well as Olympians Jacob Pebley and Molly Hannis.

Seal Beach, CA —March 19, 2018 — TYR Sport is proud to announce the re-signing of 4X IRONMAN World Champion Chrissie Wellington to its roster of brand ambassadors.

Joining the professional circuit in 2007, Chrissie made history when she won her first world championship title in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii that very same year. Taking the triathlon world by storm, the rookie turned champion completed her marathon with the then second fastest time recorded by a woman on the Kona course. With momentum from one of the sport’s greatest upsets, Chrissie continued to write history. Returning to Kona in 2008 she maintained her title as IRONMAN World Champion, setting a new marathon course record of 2:57:44. The following October Wellington earned herself a three-peat, winning in Hawaii with a new course record of 8:54:02.

In 2011, Wellington once again did the unthinkable. Revisiting the Kona course just two weeks after a bike crash, she fought to win her fourth title with torn pectoral and intercostal muscles, severe bruising and road rash. Chrissie finished the race in 8:55:08, just about a minute behind her record-breaking time in 2009. Once the highest ranked woman on Esquire Magazine’s list of “50 Best Athletes Right Now,” Wellington came out above some of the world’s most recognized athletes. In 2012, Chrissie released her autobiography A Life Without Limits.

“I’m so proud to remain a part of the TYR family. I couldn’t wish for a better or more supportive swimwear company to partner with,” said Wellington.

“Since beginning our relationship with Chrissie over a decade ago, she has continued to redefine what it means to be a champion,” began TYR Sport Chief Executive Officer Matt DiLorenzo. “As one of the greatest forces in the sport of triathlon we are proud to continue supporting Chrissie in all of her future endeavors.”
