The Triathlon test event “ITU world triathlon Olympic qualification event” was held in Odaiba from 15th August 2019 to 18th August 2019. During this event, we supported the introduction of an ice bath called “Cryo Control”. It is a product from France.
This ice bath does not require ice, however it can directly control and stabilize the water temperature for cryotherapy. This tool was also used in London and Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and in Tour de France too. They are used by a variety of players such as football, rugby, basketball, and so on.
We proposed this to help the athletes to recover quickly as possible after the tough race under the blazing sun.
