It was an exciting few weeks for our New Balance athletes in Paris! Our CEO Joe Preston shares some highlights below 👇
Congratulations to all 84 of our amazing athletes who competed in Paris these past two weeks! From celebrating Coco Gauff’s selection as a U.S. flag bearer, to hosting global associate watch parties, and welcoming our retailers and athlete families and friends at our hospitality center in the City of Light, we made the most of every minute of this extraordinary athletic and cultural event. It was inspiring to see American Gabby Thomas show the world her talents with three gold medals in the 200m, 4X100m and 4X400m. And, to see American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continue to dominate on the track by winning gold and beating her own world record (for the 6th time!) in the 400m hurdles, then leading the U.S. 4X400m team to gold and a national record. Dutch runner Femke Bol continued to demonstrate her brilliance and took home 3 medals including gold as anchor for the mixed 4X400m relay, while Britain’s Alex Yee won gold in the triathlon in one of the most exciting finishes – just some of the many thrilling performances that inspired us and drove our OneNB pride to its highest level this summer! #OneNB New Balance
