German Athletics Association uses cooling clothing

The World Championships in Doha were a real endurance test for the German athletes, followed by the hot Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020. 28 of 68 marathon runners did not make it to the finish line in Doha. Several athletes had to give up due to heat problems. The German athletes (DLV) had prepared for the heat - they successfully relied on E.COOLINE cooling clothing.

The national team has been using COOLINE SX3 technology since 2013. Sometimes not only the athletes, but also the sports reporters were cooled during the game – as could be seen on free-to-air TV, among other places.

The decathlon team set a great example by putting the cooling vests back on during warm-ups, between each discipline, and even between each attempt in events such as discus throwing. The result: 2013 World Championship silver medalist and 2018 European champion.

The German decathlon coach, Christopher Hallmann, said:
“The decathlon days were the hottest days of the European Championships. The tartan track surface was sometimes 70 degrees... so the cooling down was always welcome :-) and that means they also played a part in Arthur's gold medal and Niklas's 4th place!”
