U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Team, Sponsored by Luminox Watch Company, Heading Strong into Winter Olympics
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. –The U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Team is well on the way to achieving medal-level victory in the Winter 2010 Olympics – and Luminox Watch Company is proud to be a partner of this winning effort.
"Luminox is a brand that has made a name for itself by appealing to everyday people who enjoy living on the edge, give 100% at all times, and get the most out of life," said USBSF CEO, Darrin Steele. "This describes the USBSF and our athletes, so the partnership is a great fit."
The U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation (USBSF) proudly announced its partnership with Luminox Watch Company in 2008. The agreement will run until May 2011, encompassing the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada, in February.
Both the men`s and women`s teams have been performing with outstanding success on the 2009-2010 World Cup tour. The U.S. tem has collected 13 medals to date, five of them gold. Reigning World Champion Steven Holcomb contributes six medals to the overall count after adding four gold medals to his growing resume, and currently leads in four-man standings.
Bobsled legend Todd Hays had to give up his dram of racing in his fourth Olympics after he suffered a life-threatening brain injury from a crash during a Winterburg, Germany training run. Nonetheless, he was at the Lake Placid, NY America`s Cup competition to bolster the US team forward. Only the top three ranked sleds among the nations will be granted a spot at the 2010 Olympics, and the U.S. has a strong chance to qualify the maximum number of athletes.
Teams will have a two-week hiatus from racing, and the 2009-2010 World Cup tour will resume January 8-10 in Konigssee, Germany, followed by races around the world. The Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia will be on February 12, and during the Olympics, there will be two days of two-man racing (Feb. 20-21) , two days of four-man racing (Feb 26-27) and two days of women’s bobsled racing (Feb. 23-24).
All USBSF World Cup team members are outfitted with Luminox watches made from sophisticated technology that creates durable timepieces to weather any conditions. An international success story, Luminox watches have been requested by and supplied to many Special Operative groups, including the U.S. Navy SEALS, and are well known in the law enforcement and diving worlds, the rugged sports and outdoor arenas, and among pilots around the globe.
Luminox`s newest timepieces incorporate self-illuminating Luminox Light Technology wherein hour markers and hands are powered by tiny micro gaslights that provide superior visibility for more than 25 years in any light condition, even complete darkness. All Luminox watches are water and shock resistant, making them ideal for the athletes of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton team.
"We are very proud to have been selected by another elite group," said Barry Cohen, founder of Luminox. "These athletes are performing at the highest level in a sport requiring split-second timing and decision making, where every little adjustment can result in a winning time."
