Christian Brader, member of the international SCOTT TRIATHLON Team, finished a sensational fourth place at IRONMAN USA/ Lake Placid on Sunday July 20.

Besides the challenging race course, the athletes had to fight the entire day against the rain. Brader came out of the water in 85th position. Then he boosted on his new PLASMA 2s and in Transition Two he was already ninth overall. But not enough! With his MAKANI running shoes he finished just off the podium and was more than happy with his first IRONMAN result at pro level. You can see the young German triathlete participate in Kona on Oct 11 at the IRONMAN World Championships.

Sibylle Matter holt Schweizer Ironman-Krone

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 7:24:14 -0600

Die Eidgenössin Sibylle Matter beendete ihr bestes Karriere-Rennen mit dem ersten Sieg ihrer Laufbahn bei der 12. Auflage des Ironman Switzerland bei denkbar widrigen Wetterbedingungen mit strömendem Regen und bis zu 15° Celsius Lufttemperatur.

Sybille Matter

Die 35-Jährige aus Plaffeien im Kanton Fribourg war nach dem Schwimmen mit dem SCOTT Contessa Plasma den vergleichsweise kraulschwachen Konkurrentinnen in 51:57 weit enteilt - zumal die Vorjahressiegerin Rebecca Preston ausstieg hatte Matter freie Fahrt.

Die stark radelnde und später auf Rang zwei vorlaufende Kathrin Pätzold war nach dem Schwimmen in 1:04:55 einfach zu weit weg, um Matter richtig gefährlich werden zu können. Matter gewann in 9:30:12 Stunden mit knapp fünf Minuten Vorsprung auf Pätzold (9:35:05) und sicherte sich somit den einzigen Frauen-Profi-Platz für Hawaii.

The 35 year-old top athlete and captain of team Dresdner-Kleinwort feels confident and happy about his relationship with Scott: “The new partnership and collaboration with Scott was an important move and will be a huge motivation for the upcoming season,” said Stadler.

Scott will be able to support Stadler in the best way regarding products and communication. In setting itself apart from Stadler’s existing partners, Scott stands by its main philosophy of Innovation-Technology-Design, which translates to hi-end products and a professional image.

After launching the new Plasma2 to the media two weeks ago, Scott is proud that they will see competitor Normann Stadler on the new bike in the near future.

MAKANI and Xtenex at ISPO Winter '08

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 0:56:52 -0700

We know that MAKANI is Hawaiian for “gone with the wind”. The carbon technology of the dynamic transition midfootbridge makes this one of the fastest, lightest shoes on the market. But what happens in the transition zone after cycling? You are even faster with the Xtenex Lace System which we include with every pair as a second lace option for triathletes or if you're just fed up with lacing your shoes again and again.
