Could Personal Air Conditioners Help Athletes Combat Heat at the Paris Olympics?
HONG KONG, July 20, 2024 — Temperatures have already risen, and Paris will soon demonstrate the impact of this on the future of the Olympics and sports. With over ten thousand athletes and ten million attendees anticipated, preparing for extreme heat is crucial.
However, most competition venues lack shade and air conditioning in the Olympic Village due to environmental concerns. While the Olympic Organizing Committee’s concerns about the potential problems of extensive traditional air conditioner use are valid, the dense arrangement of air conditioning outdoor units in a Singapore alley raised concerns about high street temperatures and inconvenience to residents.
At TORRAS, we believe in our products and their potential to provide a solution, although not a magic one. This year, we introduced the Coolify Cyber, described as a game-changer for those who enjoy outdoor activities but dislike the discomfort of heat.
Coolify Cyber is a neck-worn air conditioner, a highly innovative model in a market we pioneered three years ago. It utilizes advanced cooling technology to rapidly lower body temperature. This is achieved by cooling the neck, a highly effective method for cooling the body. Additionally, our designers have ensured its aesthetic appeal, as Tech Advisor described it as something straight out of the movie Dune.
The TORRAS team shares Paris’ environmental objectives. However, working with athletes is fundamental to our core values, and we cannot accept leaving them vulnerable to overheating. While the Olympic Village is now installing 2500 air conditioning units, this doesn’t adequately address the larger problem. There are too few units for the number of athletes, and only athletes from nations who can afford them will benefit.
We believe personal air conditioners offer a smart and flexible solution for the upcoming Olympics. Whether worn by athletes or visitors, indoors or outdoors, temperatures will be dangerously high, putting lives and athletic performance at risk. This should not be taken lightly, and Coolify Cyber might hold some answers.
