Thrill recently signed a multi-year deal to sponsor the team. Virtually unknown in North America, Thrill frames have been sold in Europe and Asia for several years. Currently negotiating with distributors, Thrill plans to offer its frames to the U.S. market starting in 2016.

“We are very excited to add this sponsorship to our deepening relationship with Thrill. BOX and Thrill share a desire to innovate and push the envelope on product design. We look forward to collaborating with them and helping Thrill establish a foothold in the US market over the next few years,” said BOX president and founder, Toby Henderson.

What was your most rewarding result (personally) in 2015?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: I have 2 that is hard to put up against each other! First the Gold medal at Baku, which was a massive event and being with other Danes and celebrating the Danish  medals together was big! But I must say that getting bronze at the World Championship was very rewarding as well,
