SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Participating in this year’s 50th Anniversary Speed Week, held at Coniston Water in Cumbria, Cox Marine has achieved the industry’s first ever Diesel Outboard World* Speed Record.

The Cox Marine team and their vessel Pegasus, surpassed their own three prior speed records, recorded earlier this week, to clinch a coveted World Record title, for World’s fastest Diesel outboard* on Thursday 3rd November achieving an average speed of 62.27mph.

Measured across a kilometre long course requiring a flying start, Pegasus, a 21ft Hallett Vector, piloted by experienced powerboat racer Adam Brown, was required to travel the course’s distances in both directions, within an hour to minimise any potential wind advantage. With official Water Speed Record timekeepers’ oversight, both time and the speed in both directions, are recorded and then averaged over the two runs constituting the final speed.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2023 – The successful re-start of spoga horse 2022 was accompanied by a number of new features: A new concept, a new innovation prize, new special zones, new themes. This new alignment went down well with both the exhibitors and visitors and will be continued in 2023 accordingly. The number of applications for 2023 is promising: The 250 exhibitors, who have already registered, can now already submit their products for the TOP INNOVATIONS. Companies founded within the last five years can submit their entries regardless of whether they have a stand or not - in the scope of the Start-Up Village, spoga horse is at the same time creating new space for young, innovative entrepreneurs. This will further increase the opportunities and visibility of these companies.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 3, 2022 – Supporting health, disease prevention, aid to recovery: Sport and fitness are proven tools to achieve this. Forming part of the “Exercise is Medicine” initiative, this is where FIBO kicks in, moving exercise into the focus of the health system, politics and population. Because physical exercise still plays only a minor role in medical practice.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 3, 2022 – FIBO, originally planned for 4 to 7 November 2021, will be suspended due to the ongoing pandemic and the global uncertainities that exist.  The show will return in 2022, on a rotational basis and take place in Cologne from 7 to 10 April.

Exhibitors and visitors from all over the world make FIBO the leading trade show and driver for the entire fitness industry. At present, however, many companies in the global fitness industry continue to suffer and are affected by the ongoing travel restrictions.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 3, 2022 – Full steam ahead to 2022: From 7 to 10 April the fitness sector will meet again in the exhibition halls of Cologne trade fair. The focus will be on technologies and products for healthy living and business. 

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 3, 2022 – For healthcare facilities FIBO has been a must-go event for a long time now. Under the heading “for a strong and healthy society” this year’s trade show will focus on healthy living and business.

Fitness has long been become an integral part of healthcare. Be this in physiotherapy, in the rehab departments of clinics or health centres. But the potential held by combining fitness with health has also been realised in the segments of wellness and hospitality. This is why FIBO is one of the most relevant sectoral meeting points for physiotherapists, sports physicians, corporate health managers, rehab coaches, gym and spa operators as well as hoteliers. “Fitness is a key to a healthy lifestyle,” says Event Director Silke Frank and forecasts: “The spending on fitness and health is set to rise.”
