World champion triathlete Gwen Jorgensen‘s bike helmet includes designs of Paul Bunyan and Bucky Badger, homages to her roots.
Jorgensen debuted the headgear at the World Triathlon Series event in Yokohama, Japan, on Saturday. The 2012 Olympian won her record-extending ninth straight WTS race and is a heavy favorite to win the U.S.’ first Olympic triathlon gold medal next year.
Jorgensen resides in St. Paul, Minn., (when not training in Australia or Spain) and competed for the Wisconsin Badgers in track and field, cross-country running and swimming before turning to triathlon.
The next World Triathlon Series race is May 31 in London.
