PUMA-Athletin Molly Seidel lief bei den Olympischen SpielenTM ein beeindruckendes Rennen im Marathon der Frauen und sicherte sich mit einer Zeit von 2:27:46 die Bronzemedaille in ihrem dritten Marathon \u00fcberhaupt. Molly lief von Anfang an ein starkes Rennen mit ihrem Deviate Nitro Elite Spectra. Es ist die erste olympische Medaille f\u00fcr Molly und die erste f\u00fcr unsere Deviate Nitro Elite High-Performance Laufschuhe. Wir befragten Erin Longin (Global Director, Run\/Train), Romain Girard (Senior Head of Innovation) &amp; Fabio Silva (Director Branch Operation Footwear) \u00fcber die pers\u00f6nliche Beziehung zu Molly, das Gef\u00fchl, ihre herausragende Leistung zu sehen und den Anteil, den die Nitro-Produktreihe an diesem Erfolg hat.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Haben Sie den olympischen Marathon live verfolgt oder wie haben Sie von ihrem erstaunlichen Gewinn der Bronzemedaille erfahren?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Ja! Es war am Abend hier in Boston und das ganze Team hat es sich angesehen. Wir haben alle SMS geschrieben und Screenshots verschickt. Es war sehr aufregend und etwas Besonderes, das mitzuerleben.  Wir sind sehr stolz auf ihre Leistung und es war toll zu sehen, wie sie unser Produkt trug und die Ziellinie \u00fcberquerte.<br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: Das Rennen fand mitten in der Nacht mitteleurop\u00e4ischer Zeit statt, so dass ich erst am Morgen davon erfuhr. Was f\u00fcr eine tolle Nachricht, wenn man aufwacht!<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: Da wir in Asien ans\u00e4ssig sind, hatten wir das Privileg, uns in einer \u00e4hnlichen Zeitzone wie Japan zu befinden, so dass wir das Rennen live im Fernsehen verfolgen konnten. Unser Team in Asien verfolgte das Rennen und feuerte sie an. Alle waren von ihrem Rennen begeistert und freuten sich sehr \u00fcber ihre Bronzemedaille.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Molly ist den Olympischen Marathon mit unseren PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite Spectra gelaufen. Unterscheiden sich ihre Schuhe von denen, die man im Laden kaufen kann? Hatten sie irgendwelche besonderen Eigenschaften?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Ja, sie hat genau das gleiche Produkt getragen, das auch online erh\u00e4ltlich ist. Und das ist, glaube ich, das Spannende daran. Es war kein ma\u00dfgeschneiderter Schuh. Es war nichts, was f\u00fcr sie verbessert wurde. Es war der Schuh, auf den wir stolz sind, den wir in unserem Hauptsortiment haben und den wir an unsere normalen Laufkunden verkaufen. Der Deviate Nitro Elite ist eines von zwei Deviate-Modellen. Die Elite-Version wurde f\u00fcr Elite-Athleten f\u00fcr den Renntag entwickelt und ist f\u00fcr alle L\u00e4ufer erh\u00e4ltlich.<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: Der gesamte Schuh wurde optimiert, um das Gewicht zu reduzieren, einen stabilen Schritt zu unterst\u00fctzen und den Athleten voranzutreiben. Er hat einen Premium-Schaumstoff und eine spezielle Carbonplatte. Der Schuh wird aus den besten Materialien hergestellt, die es derzeit in der Branche gibt, und das Tolle daran ist, dass jeder unserer Kunden genau den gleichen Schuh kaufen kann, den Molly in ihrem atemberaubenden Rennen getragen hat!<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_quote\" ><p>Molly war die allererste Elitel\u00e4uferin, die den Deviate Nitro Elite getestet hat, und ihr Feedback ist direkt in die Entwicklung des Schuhs eingeflossen.

Das ist ein wichtiger Meilenstein f\u00fcr Molly, unser Running-Team und die Marke PUMA. Es hilft auch dabei, Glaubw\u00fcrdigkeit zu schaffen und der Welt zu zeigen, dass Puma hochleistungsf\u00e4hige Stra\u00dfenlaufschuhe herstellt. Zun\u00e4chst m\u00fcssen wir Molly daf\u00fcr danken, aber auch unserem gro\u00dfartigen Team von Produktmanagern, Designern, Entwicklern und Beschaffungspartnern, die dabei geholfen haben, ein so wettbewerbsf\u00e4higes Produkt zu entwickeln.<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: Es f\u00fchlt sich gro\u00dfartig an! Auf der Grundlage aller Labor- und Athleten-Testdaten waren wir uns sicher, dass unsere NITRO-Produktreihe wettbewerbsf\u00e4hig ist, und zu sehen, dass sie in Rennen gut abschneidet, ist wirklich befriedigend und aufregend. Die Athleten haben sehr viel Arbeit in ihr Training und ihren Lebensstil gesteckt, um solche Ergebnisse zu erzielen, und das motiviert uns, jede Kleinigkeit zu ber\u00fccksichtigen, die in unsere Nitro-Schuhe einflie\u00dft. Ich denke, das gesamte Team hat bei der gesamten Nitro-Linie wirklich gute Arbeit geleistet.<br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: Es ist sehr befriedigend, diese Ergebnisse zu sehen, und wir werden versuchen, sie in naher Zukunft zu \u00fcbertreffen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Werden die PUMA-Hochleistungsschuhe noch leichter werden? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: Das Leichtgewicht ist nicht der einzige Schwerpunkt. Wir verbringen viel Zeit mit unseren Athleten, um die verschiedenen Ausl\u00f6ser f\u00fcr einen schnelleren Lauf zu verstehen, sie zu studieren und ihre Bed\u00fcrfnisse eingehend zu er\u00f6rtern. Dabei haben wir festgestellt, dass das Gewicht ein wichtiger Parameter ist, aber auch die Geometrie des Schuhs, die Kombination der Materialien... Wir k\u00f6nnen sagen, dass es in Zukunft leichtere Produkte geben wird, aber auch Produkte mit einer anderen Art von positivem Nutzen.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Wir arbeiten sehr eng mit unseren PUMA-Athleten zusammen. Wie sieht die Partnerschaft mit Molly aus?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Wir sind begeistert, dass wir weiterhin mit Molly zusammenarbeiten k\u00f6nnen. Sie hat Spa\u00df an dem, was sie tut, auch wenn es sehr ernst und hart ist. Die meisten Menschen k\u00f6nnten nicht tun, was sie tun kann. Sie hat eine sehr fr\u00f6hliche Art, die perfekt zur Marke PUMA passt. Sie wird bald unseren neuen Hauptsitz in Boston besuchen, damit wir mit ihr feiern k\u00f6nnen. Molly liebt es auch, Prototypen von Schuhen zu begutachten - sie ist ein absoluter Schuh-Nerd. Sie kann unsere Produkttechnologien so gut pr\u00e4sentieren wie jeder von uns und wir sch\u00e4tzen ihren Input. Ich glaube, wir arbeiten heute enger denn je mit unseren Athleten zusammen, auch mit Molly. Wir werden uns auf die Weltmeisterschaften zubewegen. Sie finden n\u00e4chstes Jahr in Eugene, Oregon, statt.\n\nFabio: Sie hat sich sehr f\u00fcr das Testen und Feedback zur gesamten Nitro-Laufproduktlinie eingesetzt. Sie kennt jeden Schuh beim Namen und wei\u00df genau, wof\u00fcr jeder Schuh entwickelt wurde und wie er f\u00fcr sie bei den verschiedenen Lauftrainingseinheiten und im Wettkampf funktioniert. Molly war die allererste Elitel\u00e4uferin, die den Deviate Nitro Elite getestet hat, und ihr Feedback ist direkt in die Entwicklung des Schuhs eingeflossen. Wir haben noch viel mehr in der Pipeline und freuen uns sehr darauf, dass sie es ausprobiert und uns Feedback gibt, damit wir unsere Produkte auf die n\u00e4chste Stufe bringen k\u00f6nnen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Wie \u00fcberrascht waren Sie von Mollys erstaunlicher Leistung?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Wir waren schon immer beeindruckt von Molly und von dem, was sie bei diesen Rennen leisten kann. Viele unserer Teammitglieder kennen sie pers\u00f6nlich aus Laufclubs und Rennen in Boston. Sie hat eine sehr beeindruckende Profikarriere in der Leichtathletik, im Crosslauf und nun auch im Marathonlauf hinter sich. Man w\u00fcrde nie glauben, dass das in Tokio erst ihr 3. Karrieremarathon war.  Bei ihrem ersten Marathon 2020 (den US Olympic Trials) belegte sie Platz 2 und qualifizierte sich f\u00fcr die Olympischen Spiele. Ihr zweiter Marathon war London 2020, wo sie mit ihrer Bestzeit von 2:25:13 den sechsten Platz belegte. Und damit kommen wir zu Tokio und ihrer atemberaubenden Leistung und dem Gewinn der Bronzemedaille.

Based on all the lab and athlete testing data we were certain that our NITRO product range was competitive and seeing it perform well in races is really satisfying and exciting. The athletes put an immense amount of work on their training and overall lifestyle to achieve such results and that is what motivates us to consider every little bit that goes into our Nitro shoes, one of the aspects we looked at in this model was the overall weight, every gram the athletes have less on their feet helps them with their running economy and achieving better results.

Out of this, we realized that lightweight is an important parameter, but so is the geometry of the shoe, the combination of materials\\u0026hellip; What we can say is, yes, there will be lighter products moving forward and also products with another type of positive benefit.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;We work very closely with our PUMA athletes.

She has this very joyful approach that\\u0026rsquo;s a perfect connection to the PUMA brand. She\\u0026rsquo;s visiting our new Boston HQ soon so we can celebrate with her. Molly also loves to review footwear prototypes \\u0026ndash; she\\u0026rsquo;s a total shoe nerd. She can present our product technologies as well as any of us and we value her input. I think we are working with our athletes now more closely than ever, including Molly. We\\u0026rsquo;re going to be moving toward the World Championships. They are coming up next year in Eugene, Oregon.\\n\\nFabio: She has been very involved in testing and providing feedback on the entire Nitro running product line. She knows each shoe by its name and knows exactly what each shoe was engineered for and how they work for her in the different running training sessions as well as in competition.

You would never know that was only her 3rd career marathon in Tokyo.\\u0026nbsp; In her first marathon in 2020 (the US Olympic Trials) she came in 2nd and qualified for the Olympics. Her second marathon was London 2020 where she finished sixth place with her PB time of 2:25:13. And that brings us to Tokyo and her stunning performance and bronze medal win.

The athletes put an immense amount of work on their training and overall lifestyle to achieve such results and that is what motivates us to consider every little bit that goes into our Nitro shoes, one of the aspects we looked at in this model was the overall weight, every gram the athletes have less on their feet helps them with their running economy and achieving better results.
