blueseventy stoked to sign triathlon legend

Wetsuit and apparel operator blueseventy has said it is ‘stoked to announce that Greg Bennett has joined the blueseventy team.’ This latest addition to the blueseventy roster of athletes comes as two-time Olympic triathlete Bennett has been granted a release from racing for Australia and will now compete for the United States.
The main reason for this change is primarily so that he can be a bigger part of wife Laura’s Bennett’s 2012 Olympic campaign. The couple have shared a long and successful career in triathlon together.
At 38, Bennett has shown tremendous ability and staying power. He has contested more than 80 World Cup events, claiming two world series titles along with six race wins and 26 podium finishes. He has also won the sports richest prize purse, being the only person to win all five events in the major US Lifetime Fitness Series.
Bennett will be of huge value to blueseventy as an ambassador and advisor on its products, as the company looks to improve and innovate through detailed athlete feedback and analysis. Bennett will also gain the benefits of blueseventy’s wetsuit and swimskin technology, as well as the super-light blueseventy carbon goggles.
For Greg personally the move makes great sense. He said, "In regard to my own career, the majority of my racing over the last several years has been in the United States, all my sponsorship deals are US-based, and the medical team I rely on is based in Florida and Dallas."
