At Nelo Kayaks, our journey with the world’s best athletes is more than just a partnership – it’s a commitment built on trust, dedication, and a shared passion for excellence. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games marked another extraordinary chapter in our story. We arrived earlier and were there every step of the way, supporting these incredible athletes who competed in that big stage that was Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium. Our role? Ensuring that their boats were nothing less than perfect, allowing them to focus entirely on the competition.
We believe that when athletes step into their boats, they shouldn’t be concerned with anything but their performance. That’s why our team worked tirelessly behind the scenes, giving the final touch to each boat, and meticulously adjusting every detail so that the athletes could be confident in their material. After all, when you’re competing at the highest level, every second and meter matters, and we’re proud to have been part of their preparation process.
And about the result? Across 10 events, athletes using Nelo Kayaks brought home 19 medals – an amazing achievement, representing more than half of the total 30 available. These results aren’t just numbers to us; they reflect the hard work, determination, and perseverance of the athletes we’ve come to know not only as competitors but also as friends.
For many of these athletes, we’ve shared years of collaboration. We’ve stood alongside them through the highs and the lows, always aiming to ensure that they can give their very best on the water. It’s a relationship built on mutual respect, and watching them in action at Paris 2024 was extremely rewarding for our entire team.
This also reflects the passion and commitment of our staff, who work tirelessly to ensure that every kayak leaving our hands is prepared to the highest standard. At Nelo, our work is more than just a job – it’s a way of life. Seeing our athletes succeed on the biggest stage in the world gives deep meaning to everything we do, from scratch to the finishing touch on the water.
Now that the Games have come to the end, we look back on Paris 2024 with immense pride. But we’re not resting – we’re already looking forward to the next challenge. As we turn our eyes to Los Angeles 2028, our journey continues. We’re ready to support our athletes with the same level of care, precision, and passion. We can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together next.
