La atleta de PUMA Molly Seidel corri\u00f3 una carrera impresionante en el marat\u00f3n femenino de los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicosTMpara asegurarse la medalla de bronce en su tercer marat\u00f3n de la historia con un tiempo de 2:27:46. Molly realiz\u00f3 una gran carrera desde el principio con sus Deviate Nitro Elite Spectra. Es la primera medalla ol\u00edmpica para Molly y la primera para nuestras zapatillas de running de alto rendimiento Deviate Nitro Elite. Hemos preguntado a Erin Longin (Director Global, Run\/Train), Romain Girard (Jefe Senior de Innovaci\u00f3n) &amp; Fabio Silva (Director Branch Operation Footwear) sobre la relaci\u00f3n personal con Molly, la sensaci\u00f3n de ver su extraordinario rendimiento y la parte que la gama de productos Nitro tiene en el \u00e9xito.<\/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>\u00bfVio el marat\u00f3n ol\u00edmpico en directo o c\u00f3mo se enter\u00f3 de su asombroso logro de la medalla de bronce?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: \u00a1S\u00ed! Fue por la noche aqu\u00ed en Boston y todo el equipo lo vio. Todos nos envi\u00e1bamos mensajes de texto y capturas de pantalla. Fue muy emocionante y especial.  Estamos muy orgullosos de su logro y fue incre\u00edble verla llevar nuestro producto para cruzar la l\u00ednea de meta.<br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: La carrera tuvo lugar en plena noche, hora central europea, as\u00ed que no me enter\u00e9 hasta por la ma\u00f1ana. \u00a1Es una noticia incre\u00edble cuando te despiertas!<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: Al estar basados en Asia, tuvimos el privilegio de estar en una zona horaria similar a la de Jap\u00f3n, lo que nos permiti\u00f3 ver la carrera en directo por televisi\u00f3n. Nuestro equipo asi\u00e1tico la vio y la anim\u00f3.

Y eso es, creo, lo que es tan emocionante. No era un zapato personalizado. No era nada mejorado para ella. Era la zapatilla de la que estamos orgullosos, que tenemos en nuestra l\u00ednea principal, que vendemos a nuestros consumidores de running diarios. La Deviate Nitro Elite es uno de los dos modelos Deviate. La versi\u00f3n Elite est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ada para atletas de \u00e9lite para el d\u00eda de la carrera y est\u00e1 disponible para todos los corredores.<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: Toda la zapatilla se ha optimizado para reducir el peso, favorecer una zancada estable e impulsar al atleta hacia delante. Tiene una espuma de primera calidad y una placa de carbono espec\u00edfica. La zapatilla est\u00e1 fabricada con los mejores materiales disponibles actualmente en la industria y lo mejor de todo es que cada uno de nuestros clientes puede comprar exactamente la misma zapatilla que Molly llev\u00f3 en su impresionante carrera.<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 fue la primera corredora de \u00e9lite que prob\u00f3 la Deviate Nitro Elite y sus comentarios se incorporaron directamente en el dise\u00f1o de la zapatilla.

Es un hito importante para Molly, nuestro equipo de Running y la marca PUMA. Tambi\u00e9n ayuda a establecer credibilidad y mostrar al mundo que Puma fabrica zapatillas de running de carretera de alto rendimiento competitivo. En primer lugar, debemos dar las gracias a Molly por ello, pero tambi\u00e9n a nuestro incre\u00edble equipo de jefes de producto, dise\u00f1adores, desarrolladores y socios de aprovisionamiento que han contribuido a crear un producto tan competitivo.<br\/>\n<br\/>Fabio: La sensaci\u00f3n es fant\u00e1stica. Bas\u00e1ndonos en todos los datos de las pruebas de laboratorio y de los atletas, est\u00e1bamos seguros de que nuestra gama de productos NITRO era competitiva, y ver su buen rendimiento en las carreras es realmente satisfactorio y emocionante. Los atletas se esfuerzan mucho en sus entrenamientos y en su estilo de vida en general para conseguir estos resultados y eso es lo que nos motiva a tener en cuenta cada peque\u00f1o detalle de nuestras zapatillas Nitro, uno de los aspectos que hemos tenido en cuenta en este modelo ha sido el peso total, cada gramo que los atletas tienen menos en sus pies les ayuda en su econom\u00eda de carrera y a conseguir mejores resultados. Creo que todo el equipo ha hecho un trabajo realmente bueno con toda la l\u00ednea de zapatillas Nitro.<br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: Es muy satisfactorio ver estos resultados y esperamos superarlos en un futuro pr\u00f3ximo.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfSer\u00e1n a\u00fan m\u00e1s ligeras las zapatillas de alto rendimiento de PUMA? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Romain: El peso ligero no es el \u00fanico objetivo. Pasamos mucho tiempo con nuestros atletas para entender los diferentes puntos desencadenantes de correr m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido, estudi\u00e1ndolos y discutiendo en profundidad sobre sus necesidades. A partir de ah\u00ed, nos dimos cuenta de que la ligereza es un par\u00e1metro importante, pero tambi\u00e9n lo es la geometr\u00eda de la zapatilla, la combinaci\u00f3n de materiales... Lo que podemos decir es que s\u00ed, que habr\u00e1 productos m\u00e1s ligeros en el futuro y tambi\u00e9n productos con otro tipo de beneficio positivo.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Trabajamos muy estrechamente con nuestros atletas PUMA. C\u00f3mo es la colaboraci\u00f3n con Molly?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Estamos encantados de seguir trabajando con Molly. Se divierte con lo que hace, aunque sea muy serio y duro. La mayor\u00eda de la gente no podr\u00eda hacer lo que ella es capaz de hacer. Tiene un enfoque muy alegre que conecta perfectamente con la marca PUMA. Pronto visitar\u00e1 nuestra nueva sede de Boston para que podamos celebrarlo con ella. A Molly tambi\u00e9n le encanta revisar prototipos de calzado, es una aut\u00e9ntica friki del calzado. Puede presentar nuestras tecnolog\u00edas de producto tan bien como cualquiera de nosotros y valoramos su aportaci\u00f3n. Creo que ahora trabajamos m\u00e1s estrechamente que nunca con nuestros atletas, incluida Molly. Vamos a avanzar hacia los Campeonatos del Mundo. Se celebrar\u00e1n el a\u00f1o que viene en Eugene, Oreg\u00f3n.\n\nFabio: Ella ha estado muy involucrada en las pruebas y proporcionar informaci\u00f3n sobre toda la l\u00ednea de productos Nitro correr. Conoce cada zapatilla por su nombre y sabe exactamente para qu\u00e9 ha sido dise\u00f1ada y c\u00f3mo le funciona en las diferentes sesiones de entrenamiento, as\u00ed como en competici\u00f3n. Molly fue la primera corredora de \u00e9lite que prob\u00f3 y dio su opini\u00f3n sobre las Deviate Nitro Elite y sus comentarios se incorporaron directamente en la ingenier\u00eda de las zapatillas. Tenemos mucho m\u00e1s en proyecto y estamos muy contentos de que ella pruebe y nos d\u00e9 su opini\u00f3n para que podamos seguir llevando nuestros productos al siguiente nivel.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfLe sorprendi\u00f3 la incre\u00edble actuaci\u00f3n de Molly?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Erin: Siempre nos ha impresionado Molly y lo que es capaz de hacer en estas carreras. Muchos de los miembros de nuestro equipo la conocen personalmente de clubes de atletismo y carreras en Boston. Ha tenido una carrera profesional impresionante en atletismo, campo a trav\u00e9s y ahora en maratones. Nunca sabr\u00edas que fue s\u00f3lo su 3er marat\u00f3n de carrera en Tokio.  En su primer marat\u00f3n en 2020 (las Pruebas Ol\u00edmpicas de Estados Unidos) qued\u00f3 segunda y se clasific\u00f3 para los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos. Su segundo marat\u00f3n fue en Londres 2020, donde termin\u00f3 en sexto lugar con un tiempo de 2:25:13. Y eso nos lleva a Tokio y a su impresionante actuaci\u00f3n y medalla de bronce.

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.

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.
