LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FIT KING proudly partnered with the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) in support of its inaugural Defying Limits Los Angeles Gala, an evening that raised more than $600,000 to expand access to adaptive sports and athletic opportunity.

For FIT KING, this partnership represents more than event sponsorship — it reflects a long-term commitment to inclusive performance, equitable recovery access, and the belief that athletic potential exists in every body.

Recovery as Access. Performance as Dignity.

As a global recovery technology brand, FIT KING has long focused on helping athletes train harder, recover smarter, and perform sustainably. But performance is not defined solely by elite competition — it is defined by opportunity.

Adaptive athletes face unique physical demands, often navigating higher recovery needs, limited equipment access, and inconsistent support systems. FIT KING believes recovery should never be a privilege — it should be part of the infrastructure that enables confidence, independence, and long-term participation in sport.

“Movement is transformative,” said at FIT KING. “When access to sport expands, lives expand. Our role is to ensure recovery tools evolve alongside athletic ambition — for every athlete.”

Building Toward LA28 and Beyond

With Los Angeles preparing to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the adaptive sports movement is entering a pivotal chapter. FIT KING sees this moment not only as a cultural milestone, but as a strategic inflection point.

The brand’s long-term strategy includes:

• Expanding recovery accessibility within adaptive sports communities
• Supporting grassroots programs that build sustainable athlete pathways
• Collaborating with nonprofit partners to integrate recovery education and technology into year-round programming
• Developing product innovation informed by diverse athletic needs

Through its collaboration with CAF, FIT KING aims to help create an ecosystem where adaptive athletes have access not only to equipment and training — but to professional-grade recovery support that sustains their journey.

From Product to Purpose

At the Defying Limits Gala, more than 400 leaders from sports, business, and philanthropy gathered to champion resilience and possibility. For FIT KING, the evening reinforced a clear truth: recovery is not simply about muscle relief — it is about restoring strength, protecting longevity, and empowering continued participation.

FIT KING’s contribution to the event included both financial support and recovery equipment designed to assist athletes in maintaining peak condition throughout training cycles and competition seasons.

But the brand’s commitment extends beyond one evening.

FIT KING believes in a long-term vision for inclusive performance. The brand is committed to building a future where recovery innovation supports inclusivity — where adaptive athletes have the same access to performance tools as anyone pursuing their athletic goals.

A Broader Vision of Performance

FIT KING believes the future of sport is inclusive. As adaptive sports visibility increases globally, the brand intends to play an active role in shaping a recovery landscape that evolves alongside it.

By aligning with organizations like CAF, FIT KING reinforces its belief that performance technology should not only elevate elite outcomes — it should expand human possibility.

As momentum builds toward LA28, FIT KING remains committed to partnerships that strengthen communities, reduce barriers, and redefine what it means to perform — and to recover — without limits.

HOUSTON, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thinking about giving your home a fresh coat of paint this spring? It’s an exciting idea—until you picture slow brushes, tiring rollers, constant reloading, and the cleanup that drags on for hours.

VEVOR’s new high-pressure airless paint sprayer is designed to change that.  Up to 12X faster than traditional brushes, it lets you breeze through walls and rooms with pro-level results—without turning a weekend project into a full-day chore.

When Tools Stop Getting in the Way, DIY Feels Effortless

After years of conversations with North American customers, VEVOR noticed a clear pattern: most people don’t avoid DIY because they lack skills—they avoid it because inefficient tools drain their energy.

“One customer told us he bought paint and let it sit in his garage for three months,” recalls Gavin, VEVOR brand director. “It wasn’t that he didn’t want to start. He just couldn’t face holding a roller all afternoon, then spending another hour cleaning everything. So he kept saying, ‘Maybe next weekend.'”

And “next weekend” quietly turns into months. Slow coverage. Uneven finishes. Splatter. Endless touch-ups. What should be a satisfying weekend upgrade becomes repetitive labor.

“We don’t just want to sell products,” Gavin adds. “We want to remove the friction.”

Over the past several years, VEVOR has continuously gathered feedback from customer reviews, service conversations, and real-world use cases. Real user experiences have directly shaped the product you see today.

Professional-Level Performance—Made for Home Creators

The philosophy behind this new-generation airless sprayer is simple: bring professional efficiency to everyday users. Powered by a 650W motor delivering up to 3000 PSI and 0.31 GPM, it sprays up to 12 times faster than traditional painting methods. In practical terms, that means a room that might have taken an entire afternoon with a brush can now be finished in a fraction of the time—enough to complete a wall while enjoying an episode of your favorite show.

But speed is only part of the story. High-pressure airless technology atomizes paint into a fine, even mist, creating a smoother, more consistent finish while minimizing brush marks and color variation. An integrated filtration system and improved sealing design help reduce nozzle clogs and leaks, maintaining consistent performance during longer projects. For DIYers, this means fewer interruptions and a more seamless painting experience from start to finish.

One early tester shared:

“I thought I’d end up spraying paint everywhere the first time I used it—but it was surprisingly controlled. The finish was so even that friends asked if I hired a professional.”

Designed for Convenience. Built for the Long Run.

Performance matters—but so does usability.

The sprayer is easy to assemble and beginner-friendly. A detachable pump design simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Three adjustable pressure settings allow you to tailor output for different surfaces and project sizes, giving you the right balance between speed and precision.

A full metal frame and durable, wear-resistant hose ensure long-term stability and reliability—so this isn’t just a one-project tool, but a dependable part of your workshop for years to come.

Get Your Day Back with Effortless Painting

When painting no longer consumes an entire day, DIY returns to what it was always meant to be.

After refinishing his deck, one user shared:

“That afternoon, I was sitting on my freshly painted deck with a beer. Normally after painting, I just want to lie down. That was the first time I realized you can finish the job and still enjoy the day.” Stories like this are becoming more common.

To date, VEVOR’s sprayer lineup has served more than 100,000 users across North America, supporting projects from fence refreshes and deck restoration to full home renovations. In customer reviews, comments like “high efficiency,” “professional finish,” and “easy to use and clean” appear again and again—making VEVOR a trusted choice for more DIY households every year.

If that wall has been waiting for attention, maybe the issue isn’t time—it’s the tool.

This spring, join over 100,000 North American families in giving your homes a fresh new look—quickly, effortlessly, and with professional results. The VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer is now available through vevor.com, and Amazon.

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The iconic skyline of Victoria Harbour will serve as the backdrop for a landmark electronic music event this spring. DJ Snake Live in Hong Kong – French May Arts Festival 2026: Sino-French Electronic Music Show, presented by French May Arts Festival (French May) 2026 and organized by Occasions Asia Pacific, the global superstar DJ Snake will command the stage at a massive open-air headline show on 8 May, 2026.  French May 2026 is also a project financially supported by the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.

About DJ Snake

Cultural icon DJ Snake has shaped the global music landscape with hits like “Let Me Love You,” “Middle,” “Lean On,” and “Taki Taki.” Collaborating with leading names across pop and urban music including Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Future, Travis Scott, Jung Kook, J Balvin, Peso Pluma, Don Toliver, Stray Kids, LISA from BLACKPINK, and Amadou and Mariam, he has built a cross genre catalog with lasting worldwide impact. With over 52 million monthly Spotify listeners and more than 40 billion streams, he has sold out arenas globally and redefined the modern electronic artist.

Rooted in the French underground electronic scene, DJ Snake emerged as a pioneer in blending electronic music with trap, hip-hop, and modern pop, reintroducing vocal chops and high-impact drops into mainstream pop production. Breakthrough tracks like “Bird Machine,” “Turn Down for What,” and “Propaganda” became cultural landmarks, reshaping electronic music and ushering twerk, trap, and hip-hop influences into the global mainstream.

His rise from clubs to stadiums includes headlining Accor Arena and Stade de France, selling over 100,000 tickets between the two Paris shows in minutes, while dominating markets across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and North America. In 2025, he released Nomad, a globally influenced project that earned major international covers and a GQ Man of the Year award, alongside continued expansion into fashion through global brand collaborations and his Pardon My French collective.

The Professional-Grade Auto-Tracking Camera Designed for Sports Families, Coaches, and Young Athletes – No Subscription Required for Core Features

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XbotGo today announced the global public launch of its flagship Falcon AI sports camera, available for immediate purchase exclusively at xbotgo.com. Starting at $699, Falcon is purpose-built to transform how sports families capture 10+ Sports, putting professional-grade 4K intelligent auto-tracking within everyone’s reach.

Falcon was born from a simple yet powerful observation: every sports family deserves a personal “AI videographer.” For too long, parents have struggled to juggle cheering and filming, ending up with shaky footage and missed moments. Meanwhile, expensive club cameras with costly annual subscriptions have put professional-level recording out of reach for most families. 

Falcon arrives to end this dilemma.

Core Advantages:

No Subscription for Core Recording & Tracking: Pay once, own it forever. Falcon requires no subscription fees for its essential features—4K video recording, intelligent auto-tracking, Zone Mapping, Auto Zoom, and Free Live streaming and more features.

Exclusive Features: Powered by a pioneering Dual-Camera System (Sony IMX678 with 1/1.8″ Sensor), and a powerful 6-TOPS AI Processor, Falcon delivers True 4K Clarity Video Recording and intelligent capture modes that automatically follow the action—no operator needed.

Superior Experience: From IPX5 Rain Resistance and 30-Second Instant Setup to free multi-platform live streaming with RTMP support, plus Gourd-to-Sky 160° tilt and 360° panoramic tracking, Falcon exceeds expectations at every turn.

Rock-Solid Hardware: A 9600mAh long-life battery (up to 4.5 hours), 20GB free cloud storage, support for external storage up to 1TB, and a built-in digital screen make Falcon a reliable, all-day sideline companion.

Falcon doesn’t just record goals; it helps families easily capture and share their child’s growth and achievements—whether for tryouts, college recruiting, or building a treasured family memory bank.

“Parents have waited long enough for technology that lets them enjoy the game instead of filming it,” said Dr. David Tan, Founder & CEO of XbotGo and a dedicated “soccer dad” himself. “Falcon gives every family its own pro-level AI camera at a price that finally makes sense. No subscriptions for core features, no compromises—just crystal-clear 4K footage so you can focus on what matters most: your kids on the field.”

Falcon previously set records on Kickstarter, raising over $2.5 million from more than 5,000 backers, and earned praise at CES 2026 as “the most professional sports tracking camera that doesn’t require a subscription” (Mashable).

Availability

The Falcon AI sports camera (Standard Edition) is priced at $699 and includes the Falcon camera and essential accessories. The Elite Pack, featuring the Falcon camera and the highly acclaimed NT4 Tripod, is available for $849. Both are shipping globally starting today and can be purchased directly from the XbotGo website: xbotgo.com.

About XbotGo

XbotGo is the consumer AI brand of Blink Tech, Inc., founded by Dr. David Tan—a computer vision expert, hardware innovator, and passionate soccer dad. Driven by the belief that everyone should be able to capture and relive their best sports moments, XbotGo makes pro-level videography easy and accessible for all. With a core team of graduates from globally renowned institutions and veterans from leading tech companies, XbotGo operates in Silicon Valley, Texas, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Suzhou, leveraging global R&D and supply chain advantages to drive innovation worldwide.

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phillip Turner and Noel Chan’s Reichel/Pugh 66 Team Alive-Rampage crossed the finish line at Subic Bay on Friday 6 March at 13:15:08, claiming Line Honours in the 2026 Rolex China Sea Race, organized by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), from Hong Kong to Subic Bay.

It was a tense and exciting morning for race followers, as all eyes were on Team Alive–Rampage to see whether they could challenge their own long‑standing race record set in 2016. The team had led the fleet on the water since departing Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour on Wednesday 4 March, pushing hard along the southernmost section of the rhumb line and building a commanding 20 nm lead over Centennial V.

The China Sea Race is renowned for its tactical complexity. As the leaders approached Subic Bay, the prevailing northeasterly breeze often bends around the northern tip of Luzon, creating an area of lighter, more unstable winds. Once again, the front‑runners found themselves navigating this notorious “Luzon Hole”, where many promising record attempts have slowed in previous years.

Despite their strong early pace, Team Alive–Rampage eventually crossed the finish line at 13:15:57 on Friday 6 March, recording an elapsed time of 49 hours 55 minutes 57 seconds — fast enough for a decisive Line Honours victory, but just short of eclipsing their 2016 benchmark.

Matt Humphries, technician on board Team Alive–Rampage, said that although they finished 18nm short of breaking the race record, the team was still very pleased with their performance.

“We wanted to bank a little bit of a southerly route to make sure we didn’t fall into a bad transition or a hole coming into Subic Bay. That part actually went very well for us — we didn’t have to sail upwind at the end. The boys pushed extremely hard; they fought for every mile and every minute. They were on fire, making sure we secured Line Honours and delivered a strong result.”

Australian skipper Duncan Hine echoed Humphries’s satisfaction with how the race unfolded: “We had a lot of fun. You set out a plan, you work through it, and we basically drove the boat like we stole it.” Hine also spoke highly of the collaboration between Alive and Rampage: “The culture between the two teams has been phenomenal. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed this venture. It was something completely new — this is the first time Alive has ever had another team involved in the programme. And looking ahead, I can’t see why we couldn’t do it again with Rampage, or even with another team.”

Second to cross the line was Standard Insurance Centennial V, Ernesto Echauz’s Reichel/Pugh 75 and the 2023 Line Honours winner. Choosing a route closer to the coast to take advantage of the developing sea breeze, she finished at 15:43:48 on Friday 6 March.

Echauz praised the decision to bring the race forward, calling it an excellent move. “It was a very good race—an excellent race. The wind was strong, and we finished in just a little over two days, which is really very fast. There were only about two hours where we didn’t move, or moved very slowly, but after that everything was fine from start to finish. So it was a good thing the race was moved to March, when the wind conditions are much better. Fantastic.”

As Centennial V and Team Alive–Rampage celebrated their arrivals, the battle further offshore intensified. The defending Line Honours and IRC Overall champion, the TP52 Happy Go, was locked in a dramatic, neck‑and‑neck duel with fellow TP52 Standard Insurance Centennial VII. The two boats traded the lead repeatedly, but in the final two hours Happy Go found an extra gear, ultimately edging out Centennial VII by 41 minutes at the finish.

With the front of the fleet now safely ashore, attention shifts to the battle for IRC Division 0 and IRC Overall Honours — where Seawolf remains the boat everyone is watching.

In IRC Division 1, both Zesst and Zoe’s Guard continue to deliver strong performances, trading pressure throughout the race. Meanwhile, in the IRC Premier Division, Fenice has been steadily gaining ground, while Lisa Elaine continues to sail impressively and hold her position among the leaders.

ABOUT ROLEX

AN UNRIVALLED REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND EXPERTISE

Rolex is an integrated and independent Swiss watch manufacture. Headquartered in Geneva, the brand is recognized the world over for its expertise and the quality of its products – symbols of excellence, elegance and prestige. The movements of its Oyster Perpetual and Perpetual watches are certified by COSC, then tested in-house for their precision, performance and reliability. The Superlative Chronometer certification, symbolized by the green seal, confirms that each watch has successfully undergone tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These are periodically validated by an independent external organization. The word ‘Perpetual’ is inscribed on every Rolex Oyster watch. But more than just a word on a dial, it is a philosophy that embodies the company’s vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. This led Rolex to pioneer the development of the wristwatch and numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism, invented in 1931. In the course of its history, Rolex has registered over 600 patents. At its four sites in Switzerland, the brand designs, develops and produces the majority of its watch components. A fifth site, also in Switzerland, is under construction and is expected to open in 2029. Rolex carries out its own manufacturing operations, from casting the gold alloys to machining, crafting, assembling and finishing the movement, case, dial and bracelet. Furthermore, the brand is actively involved in supporting the arts and culture, sport, and exploration, as well as those who are devising solutions to preserve the planet.

HOUSTON, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — VEVOR, one of the world’s fastest-growing home improvement brands serving over 30 million customers globally, is bringing a new kind of retail experience to Houston. On March 9, the company will open its first-ever physical store in the city—celebrating the milestone alongside the Houston Rockets—designed to close the gap between online convenience and in-person confidence. The launch marks VEVOR’s first brick-and-mortar retail location in the United States and a pivotal step in its evolution from a digital-first company to a fully integrated omnichannel brand.

For nearly a decade, VEVOR has built a strong global presence through a direct-to-consumer model, serving DIY enthusiasts, professional builders, and small business owners. These “Home Creators” — whether weekend warrior tackling their first garage project or a seasoned contractor building for clients — are at the heart of everything VEVOR does. Supported by a robust supply chain and advanced digital infrastructure, the brand has delivered professional-grade products at scale. Today, as customers seek deeper engagement, immediate access, and greater product confidence, VEVOR is expanding beyond online efficiency to create a more immersive, experience-led retail model — and the new Houston store is built with them in mind.

From Digital Convenience to Physical Confidence

In the home improvement category, purchasing decisions are driven not only by specifications, but by trust and tactile validation. The Houston flagship store is designed to bridge that gap—transforming digital discovery into real-world experience.

The store features a dedicated “Hands-on Pro Zone,” where customers can test equipment such as jacks and woodworking machinery in person, gaining direct insight into performance and craftsmanship.

To further enhance convenience, VEVOR is introducing BOPIS (Buy Online, Pick Up In Store), enabling customers to browse and purchase online, then collect their items directly from the store. By combining digital efficiency with physical immediacy, VEVOR delivers a seamless and flexible shopping journey tailored to modern consumers.

“Over the past decade, VEVOR has always stood for one simple idea: pro-level performance at a price that doesn’t exclude anyone. This store is that promise made physical.” said Gavin Wu, Brand Director at VEVOR. “Our Houston flagship brings the VEVOR experience into the real world—giving customers the chance to see, test, and trust the tools they rely on, while helping us stay closer to the people who build, create, and improve every day.”

A Strategic Anchor for U.S. Expansion

As the fourth-largest city in the United States, Houston represents a vibrant ecosystem of homeowners, contractors, and entrepreneurs closely aligned with VEVOR’s core audience. For them, the 31,977-square-foot flagship store offers a curated selection across tools, garden equipment, and home improvement categories.

VEVOR is also introducing innovative digital integration throughout the store, including QR-enabled product demonstrations, installation tutorials, and interactive content. The space will host professional training sessions, DIY workshops, and maker-focused community events—positioning it as more than a retail outlet, but a gathering place for creators and builders.

Houston is just the beginning. VEVOR’s U.S. retail expansion is designed to bring the brand’s signature blend of professional performance and accessible pricing to communities across the country — starting here, in H-Town.

The grand opening on March 9, 2026, will feature a special appearance by players from the Houston Rockets, celebrating this milestone alongside the local community. Join us at 10951 Farm to Market 1960 Road W to be part of the celebration.
