SiS (Science in Sport) is delighted to announce the signing of Sir Chris Hoy as brand ambassador for the company. As Sir Chris' longstanding relationship with the leading endurance nutrition brand becomes official, the six-time Olympic track cycling gold medallist joins a long list of elite athletes and teams who currently use SiS products.

The deal announced today will see Sir Chris work closely with Science in Sport and their team of experts in hydration and nutrition to help him perform to his maximum both in training and competition. Sir Chris will use a range of the brand's leading energy, recovery and hydration products, including SiS GO Gels, SiS GO Energy and products from the successful SiS REGO recovery range - including one of Chris' all-time favourite products, SiS REGO Rapid Recovery.

The multiple World and Olympic champion and Britain's most successful ever Olympian will make appearances to help promote the brand's wide range of leading endurance nutrition products, as well as appearing on the SiS website and providing relevant content for use on the brand's social media channels.

Sir Chris Hoy said,

"Nutrition plays a huge part in how well I do on the track, in the gym and out training on the roads so to be the best I can be, I need to use the best nutrition possible. I have used SiS products for many years and I'm looking forward to working with them to further develop this area of my preparation and recovery. The credibility of the science and their innovative approach is the reason I chose to partner with Science in Sport. Working closely with SiS to manage my hydration and energy levels gives me confidence that my nutrition is tailored to my specific needs whether I am in training or competition."
