“We do this not only at their home, but also, for example, in the stadium, in the changing rooms, in the training room and in the hotel rooms on the road. We like to contribute to the successes of our skaters by using our products and knowledge for a pleasant and healthy indoor climate.”
“Skating-loving Netherlands knows Antoinette’s qualities and is looking forward to her performance in Beijing,” Hoogerwerf added.
The collaboration between Daikin and De Jong will run until the summer of 2022.
