DIGICEL, proud sponsor of the Jamaica Olympic Association, Shelly-Ann
Fraser Pryce and Usain Bolt, is excited to congratulate the talented
athletes who have been selected to represent Jamaica at the London 2012
Olympics which takes place from July 27 to August 12.
The 50-member contingent, which was officially announced on Tuesday by
the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA), includes 23 females and 24 males
in the athletic categories as well as one female in equestrian, one
female in swimming and one male for Taekwondo.
President of the JOA, Mike Fennell, thanked Digicel for its
longstanding support "for sports and the development of sports in
general in Jamaica".
"This is set to be a huge summer of success for Jamaica and we are
excited to take our talents to the world," Fennell was quoted as saying.
In congratulating the team, Conor Looney, Digicel Jamaica's director of
marketing, said: "It is just amazing that a small country like Jamaica
can turn out a staggering 50 outstanding athletes who will perform at
the highest level on the global stage during the Olympic Games in
London."
In December 2011, Digicel cemented its long-standing relationship with
the JOA with the renewal of a four-year contract that will see the cell
phone giant supporting the organisation until 2015. In addition to the
London 2012 Olympic Games, the sponsorship includes the Pan-American
Games, Commonwealth Games, Central American and Caribbean Games, Youth
Olympic Games, Commonwealth Youth Games and the Winter Olympic Games.
