At the Timex MultiSport Team Camp in March, the athletes learned about the company and products from co-founder Louis-Victor Jadavji and captured images for their first pairs of Custom Fit Insoles. During the training camp, Simon Whitfield, four-time Olympian and two-time Olympic medalist in triathlon delivered a keynote, sharing stories, training tips and insights into optimizing race day performance. Whitfield, an investor in Wiivv commented, “It is a perfect match – the legacy of the Timex Multisport Team with Wiivv’s innovative product offering.
