VANCOUVER, February 19, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Worldwide Olympic Partner Panasonic is proud to announce that it has supplied a range of televisions to Team GB's accommodation at the Olympic Village for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and at the Team's pre Games training camp in Calgary.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games is held over 15 days and Team GB will spend a significant part of that time together as residents in the Village. The televisions supplied by Panasonic have a range of different screen sizes, including a 65 inch high definition Viera plasma Television, which will be used by Team GB during their down time in between competition to relax.
Sinead Kerr, who will be competing for Team GB with her brother John in the Figure Skating, commented:
The Games are the biggest 15 days of our lives so it's really important that we're able to switch off properly outside of competition. We'll be spending a lot of time in the Village so it's great to know that our accommodation will be furnished with the very latest Panasonic technology to help us relax together and bond as a team.
Commenting on the announcement, Panasonic UK Advertising and Sponsorship Manager, David Bonney said:
We're delighted to supply Team GB with a range of Panasonic televisions for the Olympic Village. The athletes are under a great deal of pressure during the Games so as an Olympic partner we're very proud to support the Team in any way we can.
Andy Hunt, Chef De Mission of Team GB, commented:
We're very grateful to Panasonic. It is great Team GB has sponsors such as Panasonic that not only provide us with equipment for our Team, but that understands the performance needs of the athletes; that is hugely important for us and I would like to thank them for their continuing support of Team GB.
