Working together to achieve the highest standards
RELUX supports Swiss professional triathletes Sven Altermatt and Salomé Hegi-Altermatt. Two athletes, one professional team and a philosophy that aligns perfectly with RELUX: precision, technology, endurance and strong partnerships.
Together towards a world record!
Two top athletes share the same values as RELUX

in preparation for the Challenge Sir Bani Yas.
Achievement does not happen by chance
Triathlon demands endurance, discipline and consistent effort. Many hours in the water, on the bike and running. Added to this are travel, elevation gain, interval training, equipment testing and recovery.
This commitment is what connects Sven and Salomé with RELUX. In elite sport, just as in professional lighting design, precision, quality and technical depth are paramount. The key is to reliably solve complex tasks and achieve strong results under demanding conditions.
A special connection was forged during the time trial on the F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi. The lighting for this circuit was designed using RELUX software.
Not just in triathlon – technology as a performance factor
The film about Sven and Salomé shows what lies behind sporting success: daily training, clear routines and consistent hard work.
Success is built long before the day of the competition. Every session counts – in the water, on the bike, while running and during recovery.
This mindset is what Sven and Salomé share with RELUX: professional lighting design also requires preparation, precision and accurate calculations.
The film "Trail Tales: Autumn Edition" has won numerous international awards.

Shared values: Precision and endurance: Just as in professional lighting design at RELUX, the sport of triathlon demands endurance, technical precision, and an absolute determination to always achieve the best possible result. Salomé embodies these values perfectly.
World Championship debut in Šamorín 2026
Salomé Hegi-Altermatt of the Goldwurst Power Team made her debut at The Championship in Samorin, Slovakia, on 24 May. In a highly competitive elite field, she finished 17th. She performed particularly well in the swim and on the bike, where she set personal bests. Despite limited preparation for the run, she gained valuable experience at the highest international level.

for the ‘Fastest mile three-legged’.
World Record!
RELUX joins Salomé and Sven in celebrating an extraordinary sporting milestone: on 10 February 2024, the pair broke the world record for the mile run by two runners tied together. "fastest mile three-legged" Their wrists and ankles were tied together. With an official time of 5:38.83 minutes, they ran the mile at a pace of 3:30 minutes per kilometre, or 17.15 km/h.
Salomé and Sven thus beat the previous record by 14 seconds. All the requirements set by Guinness World Records were met, verified and officially confirmed. On 7 May 2025, two men beat the world record by 4.54 seconds. “We’ll definitely beat that,” was Salomé and Sven’s response.
