Today at 17.00 CET has been officially announced that Kilian Jornet and Emilie Forsberg will be new COROS ambassadors.

As we thought a couple of weeks ago, based on the pictures and information we saw and investigated at the  Tjörnarparen – Trail Ultra and we told you in this article many clues brough us to the conclusion that both athletes might sign a partnertship during this 2022 with COROS, and today at 17.00 CET hours been officially announced by COROS.

Kilian and Emilie have announced in the last 2 days their official “good bye” to Suunto in their instagrams accounts. Moreover, on 30NOV 2021 it was announced that their relationships with Salomon was to end too. In addition, Suunto is in the process of being sold from Amersports, Salomon’s mother house, to China’s Lisheng. Thus, the photos of the recently contested Swedish 100 miles and other indications made us believe that the announcement of today was about to happen.

This partnership is one more sign of COROS’s commitment to the training of performance at the highest level. To forge the relationship and be able to experience the product in a high-performance environment, COROS co-founder Lewis Wu traveled to Norway to meet with both and accompany Kilian on a few laps of his circuit mountain ski training facility.

Both Kilian and Emelie have set themselves important competitive targets for 2022. Kilian’s recently announced schedule includes his return to the UTMB, where the former Chamonix area resident is a three-time champion, The Hardrock Hundred, where he is a four-time champion, Zegama with 9 wins in 10 appearances and Sierra-Zinal, where Kilian has won 9 times including the last 5 editions.

He added: “We don’t want COROS to be a sponsor. purely commercial, but we strive for the brand to really contribute value to the training of athletes. I’m very excited about the goals futures of Kilian and Emelie and with COROS being part of something that inspires everyone to do something incredible.”

“When considering the additions of new athletes, my typical way of connecting with the athlete it’s going out and participating in their sport alongside them,” Lewis Wu said.

European cities, just for a few hours of adventure with Kilian… and it was worth it.” B want more details on the history of the first meeting between Lewis and Kilian, you can see the BLOG post here.
