Boothwyn, PA - July 25, 2024

Philadelphia-based Nielsen-Kellerman® (NK), the official electronic supplier for Team USA's Olympic rowing team, is proud to support the nation's top athletes in the highest level of world competition. This partnership underscores NK's commitment to excellence and innovation in sports performance electronics.

NK, a long-standing manufacturer of rugged, waterproof sports performance electronics and environmental monitoring meters, equips athletes from multiple countries with their advanced SpeedCoach GPS 2 for precise data. As a company that designs and builds its products in Boothwyn, PA, NK is honored to support athletes worldwide. With a legacy of dedication to sports, NK is excited to contribute to the success of these athletes as they compete on the world stage in Paris.

"We are passionate about our products, and this partnership allows us to showcase our commitment to high performance. We look forward to seeing the best athletes in the world compete for the gold, relying on NK products to help them achieve greatness," said Chuck Arkell, CEO of NK.

In addition to NK Sports products appearing in many Olympic boats on the water, Kestrel® WBGT Heat Stress Trackers will be on the sidelines, monitoring crucial environmental conditions to ensure athlete safety. The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index accounts for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation, offering a more accurate measure of environmental heat stress than standard temperature or heat index readings. This comprehensive data enables trainers and safety officials to assess the true level of heat stress and implement effective safety measures. With the Kestrel 5400 WBGT Heat Stress Tracker, Olympic organizers and trainers can better protect athletes, allowing them to perform at their best while minimizing the risk of heat-related issues.
