Irina is the 2009 XC World Champion. She is from Russia and enjoys racing in the mud and saunas. She has partnered with Ergon to offer a line of women’s sportswear. Check it out here and after the break for a picture.
PRESS RELEASE: Ã¸PA -my choice- Cycle Collection is now available in shops. World Champion Irina Kalentieva believes that fashion and sport can go hand in hand, however “when I looked at what was available for women cyclists, all I could see was a lot of bland samenessâ€Â. With this in mind, Kalentieva has been working on her own line of clothing. Backed by Ergon and an external design team, Irina has realised her ideas this past year, and the result is a stunning range of women’s sports clothing. The details are obvious in not only the athletic cut and many sports influenced elements, but also with the inclusion of Kalentieva’s own signature Ã¸PA –my choice-. Ã¸PA being the Cyrillic spelling of IRA, her nickname.
The product line was first presented at Eurobike 2009, and now it is exclusively available from www.fitinstyle.de. Fitinstyle is a German company specialising in high quality sportswear for women. The focus is on quality, style and function. As such they represent the perfect retail partner for the new clothing line – offering the complete range of jerseys, tops, t-shirts and jackets.
