Seattle, WA (Sept. 9, 2015) — Madshus, the world’s leading performance Nordic ski company, is pleased to announce that Olympians Brian and Caitlin Gregg (Team Gregg) have signed on to continue racing exclusively in Madshus skis, boots, and poles for another two seasons.

"Madshus has allowed Brian and I to make a huge step forward in our ski racing careers and we are excited about the next two years,” stated Caitlin. “It is the only ski, boot and pole company focused solely on cross country skiing and I believe we have the best research and development of any company. I have complete confidence in my equipment which allows me to focus on my training, preparation and execution."

Since joining Team Madshus back in 2013, Caitlin has been steadily racking up an impressive list of results, highlighted by a bronze medal at the recent 2015 World Championships. In addition, Caitlin's racing highlights also include five-time US National Champion, three-time American Birkebeiner winner, and 2010 Olympian.

Brian Gregg has also built an impressive resume of accomplishments, having competed in Sochi as part of the US Olympic Team in 2014. His other racing highlights include a podium finisher at the American Birkebeiner and multiple-time Super Tour Distance Champion.

"Caitlin and I are excited to be complete Madshus athletes," stated Brian. " Madshus' attention to quality and detail is shown in all of their products and I'm always amazed how each year my new skis are even better than the previous year."

The Gregg’s continued partnership with Madshus is exemplary of the brand’s commitment to growth in the North American market. “We’re ecstatic to continue to work with Brian and Caitlin and have them represent the Madshus brand,” stated Chris McCullough, Madshus USA Brand Director. “Brian and Caitlin’s results speak for themselves; however, outside of competition, they are also outstanding ambassadors for the sport, whether through their non-profit work or willingness to motivate up-and-coming athletes to pursue excellence.”

The Greggs will join Madshus’ elite roster among other top athletes, including Biathlon World Cup legend Ole Einar Bjorndalen, Olympic gold medalist Emil Hegle Svendsen, and Olympic and three-time World Championships medalist Heidi Weng.
