Having leapt into the world of professional triathlons at just 18 years of age, Josh Amberger certainly knows a thing or two about hard work.

Most recently, the Australian sensation won first out of water in the men’s professional division of the 2017 IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

“Whether I’m treading water in Kailua Bay or diving off the Hornblower in the cold waters of San Francisco Bay, I rely on TYR to give me the biggest advantage on my competition from the gun,” began Amberger. “TYR is a leader in innovation & quality, and I trust them to work as hard as I do.”

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.”
