The 31-year-old Philip Hindes first hit the headlines back at London 2012.

The track cyclist star, who holds dual-nationality having been born in Germany, won a gold medal as part of the team sprint.

Four years later he was celebrating again as he helped Team GB to be crowned kings again in the same event.

Callum Skinner, 31, was his team-mate by this point at Rio 2016.

The Scotsman, who also took silver in Brazil in the sprint race, and Hindes were by that time counting Owain Doull, who won Team Pursuit gold in 2016, as a colleague and friend.

The Welshman, 30, and the above formed an unbreakable bond at those Games that has now boiled over into the business world.

Back in 2020 the trio launched coffee brand 5 Rings Coffee, a company that states: “We are passionate about two things; performing at our peak and finding that perfect cup of coffee.”

The beans started to grow when their friendship began in 2012 as the trio dreamed of Olympic glory.

A statement on the company website explained: “During this journey, we have travelled all four corners of the globe.

“Without fail, the first thing we would do upon arriving was to begin our search for great coffee, with mixed success.

“Since 2016 we have all taken different paths; new challenges, changing disciplines and continuing that Olympic dream. However, constants remain; pursuit of excellent coffee and our friendship.

“In 2020 we have finally come to a conclusion, why look for the perfect coffee when you can craft your own?”

5 Rings Coffee insist that their core values remain “sustainability and perfection” while ensuring their product is “world-class and sustainably sourced”. 

And the Olympic heroes still maintain the same message that they started with.

“Coffee is more than just a drink, we are compelled to share the very best with you,” they add on their website.

The company’s Instagram account regularly posts updates of their ever-growing list of products.

And the stars are still urging fans and fellow coffee lovers to buckle up and continue enjoying the journey.

The message of the website ends with: “Three Olympic champions with passion for coffee, this is our new journey, join us for the ride.”
