DENVER — The potential futures of exercise apparel and accessories, electronic communications, recovery technology and training gear were all in one room at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Wednesday evening, hoping to push their burgeoning products to the next level.
Energy was high in the United Club section on the west side of the stadium, and for good reason. At stake was a trip to Rio de Janeiro to advance to the final stage of the Global Innovation in Sports Competition, which awards the ultimate winner a prize of 100,000 Euros (112,612.50 USD).
