Conrad Stoltz signs with Balega Sports
March 21, 2007 --
Press Release: Balega Sports International is proud to announce title sponsorship of Conrad Stoltz, an exceptional athlete twice crowned World Champion of the Xterra series of off-road triathlon races, four time Xterra USA Series Champion, and two time Olympian. Balega International is a proud American-South African initiative, much like Conrad Stoltz himself who hails from South Africa but feels at home in America too. “The fit is sublime considering that Balega and Conrad share a similar heritage and that the word Balega means ‘to move with speed’,” said Russell Clark, CEO of Balega.
Conrad will begin his 2007 campaign with Xterra - South Africa on April 14th. After that, he will come to the United States where he will compete in the Xterra Championship races, various 70.3 Triathlon events, and other high profile multi-sport events.
Conrad began competing in the multi-sport disciplines of duathlon and triathlon through his initial involvement in cycling, but became famous for his achievements in the Xterra series in 2001. This is the series that named him ‘Caveman’ owing to his impressive size and speed on the downhill sections of the mountain biking segment. He also recorded the fastest time in the cycling leg of the Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games.
