Pearson and Crippa join renowned German marathon runner Hendrik Pfeiffer, and Polish ultra-distance runner Edyta Lewandowska, as members of Team Amazfit ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Pearson is an American triathlete and reigning silver medalist at the 2020 Olympic Games.

His partnership with Amazfit reflects a dedication to pushing boundaries in multi-discipline sports, and his collaboration highlights the versatility and performance benefits of Amazfit smartwatches and fitness wearables.
Crippa, an Ethiopian-born, Italian long-distance runner, holds an array of European records and championships, making him a prominent figure in the international running community. He is the reigning European Champion in the 10,000m and competed in the 5,000m and 10,000m races at 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Crippa's partnership with Amazfit signifies a commitment to excellence and innovation in long-distance running.
"These partnerships represent an exciting chapter for Amazfit as we continue to expand our presence in the running and endurance sectors, and provide performance advantages by way of our cutting-edge smart wearables," said Wayne Huang, CEO of Zepp Health.

Redefining Athletic Recovery
Amazfit wearables surpass conventional devices with advanced features that help athletes optimize their recovery. The Readiness feature, now part of the Amazfit Cheetah series and the newly-released Amazfit Helio Ring, provides invaluable insights into both physical and mental conditions. This allows athletes to take control of their recovery just as they manage their performance.
The Amazfit Helio Ring reaches its full potential when paired with an Amazfit smartwatch like the acclaimed Amazfit Cheetah Pro or Amazfit T-Rex Ultra. The Zepp App integrates data from both the watch and ring, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications for workout and sleep data.
