Zhik, global leader in high-performance water wear, is proud to announce its partnership with the Danish Sailing Team will continue for another four years, as Official Technical Apparel Supplier through to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Renowned for its cutting-edge innovation, Zhik has equipped the Danish Sailing Team since 2018, with performance-enhancing gear that maximises comfort, durability, and endurance, ensuring athletes are prepared for the highest levels of international competition.
This strategic partnership comes as Zhik expands its global Olympic presence, following the Danish Olympic Team's Silver medal success at the 2024 Olympics in Marseille, and prominence across elite sailing programs worldwide.
Zhik and the Danish Sailing Team share a commitment to athlete development and performance across the full pathway, from youth sailing to the Olympic stage. Through this partnership, Danish Sailing athletes enjoy access to Zhik's latest technical innovations at every stage of their journey, empowering the next generation of sailing champions.
Anders Kristensen, CEO of the Danish Sailing Association, said:
"Zhik's commitment to performance, innovation, and sustainability continues to make them the perfect partner as we look ahead to LA 2028. Their gear is the best in the world, and we're excited our athletes benefit from this standard of excellence."
Johnny Rodgers, Zhik Head of Marketing/Partnerships and Global Sponsorship Manager, added:
"We're thrilled to build on our partnership with the Danish Sailing Team, an ambitious, high-performing squad with a strong Olympic legacy. This continued collaboration not only reinforces our commitment to elite performance but also reflects our growing presence in key global markets."
Zhik's support extends beyond Olympic athletes, with backing across development squads, youth teams, and international regattas, helping Denmark maintain its status as one of the world's premier sailing nations.
Aligned in a shared vision for a more sustainable sport, Zhik and the Danish Sailing Team will also collaborate to expand Zhik's circular recycling scheme, ReZHIKle, in partnership with global neoprene recyclers Circular Flow. The initiative offers a sustainable solution for repurposing old wetsuits, addressing the environmental impact of neoprene waste.
The partnership will officially activate ahead of the 2025 racing season, with exciting campaigns and athlete-led initiatives building momentum toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
