Jan Frodeno

1 x Olympic Champion
3 x Ironman® World Champion (KONA) 2019, 2016 and 2015.
2 x Ironman® 70.3® World Champion 2018 and 2015.

This past April, he completed an Ironman at his home in Girona, Spain, raising over $250,000 for hospital workers fighting the coronavirus. Frodeno swam 2.4 miles in his counter-current pool, cycled 112 miles on his roller trainer, and ran a full 26.2-mile marathon on his treadmill, reaching over 320 million viewers via Livestream.

Frodeno completed the swim portion of his at-home Ironman in a pair of THEMAGIC5 Blue Magic Mirror Silver goggles, unbeknownst to the THEMAGIC5. After the Ironman, he reached out to THEMAGIC5, expressing interest in a partnership.

"I was intrigued by the concept and have been amazed by how the product lives up to its promises. A lot of other brands claim a perfect or premium fit, but they’re all one-size-fits-all. These goggles are different. They are custom-made, and that means they actually fit you.”

JEANETTE OTTESEN

4 x Olympian (and Bronze Medalist)
50+ Medals from Int. Championships

Danish swimmer Jeanette Ottesen is preparing for her fifth Olympic competition as trials for Tokyo begin to heat up. The 2016 medalist is ready to hop back into the pool after a brief break to start a family with her husband and coach, Marco Loughran.

"It’s always difficult to find goggles that feel comfortable and you can 'trust' in them. Once you find a pair that fits your face and feels great you tend to believe that some sort of 'confidence' comes from them. The sense of reliability is what I believe is most important. I have that kind of confidence in TheMagic5 goggles, which is what lead me to switch to them for this Olympic cycle."

"Having a custom fit goggle is a great way to help a swim. The last thing you want in a swim is a goggle malfunction, uncomfortable goggles, or an impaired view. THEMAGIC5 goggles solve all of these issues and allow me to focus on the task at hand. Triathletes are always looking at how to get faster through technology, and this is a great way to pay attention to those little details to help make you race faster."

MAJA STAGE

6 x Ironman podiums
3 x Ironman Hawaii qualified

31 year old, Danish triathlete Maja Stage Nielsen just qualified for the Ironman world championships in Kona, Hawaii 2020. She became Runner up Latin American Champion at IM Conzumel in October and the victory will grant her access to her 3rd IM world championship.

“I love how simple it is. I scan myself with my phone and shortly after I get a pair of custom fitted goggles - so cool! I think the big difference is in the details. Now I don’t have to worry about my goggles anymore in training and racing. Instead, I can focus on my technique and the joy of swimming.”

ETU Long Course Champion 2018
Mechanical Engineer

“From an engineering perspective I thought ‘oh, that’s interesting! That’s pretty cool!’ I liked the concept of the technology. But of course, I was a little bit skeptical. A lot of the gadgets that we have in the sport are quite gimmicky, but I thought ‘well, it’s got the engineering side of things, it’s got the technology, I’m intrigued’ so I went along with it.

Going through the process of scanning your face was quite fun, and the delivery was quick and easy. Once I got them I put them on and I was just totally blown away with the ease of fitting them, the visibility and the clarity. It was really quite cool to hear and read about them and experiencing that skepticism, and then actually experiencing what it said they would. It was impressive. I absolutely love them’"
