SPEEDO ANNOUNCES ASSOICIATION WITH
PARALYMPIAN MATT COWDREY
Australian Swimmer is Speedo's newest Brand Ambassador
April 3, 2013, London: Speedo today announced Australian swimming star, Matt Cowdrey,
as its latest brand ambassador, which will see the 13 time Paralympic
gold medallist compete in Speedo, the world's leading swimwear brand
until 2014.
This
sponsorship announcement follows Matt's phenomenal results at the
London Paralympic Games in August 2012, when through Speedo's
association with the Australian Paralympic Committee, he competed in
Speedo gear. It was
in London 2012 that Matt etched his name into the Australian record
books by winning five Gold Medals, two Silver and one Bronze Medal
adding to his haul at Athens and Beijing Olympics to become Australia's
most successful Paralympian ever.
"I
am extremely excited to be joining the Speedo team as an ambassador. In
my younger years as a swimmer I looked up to Speedo Ambassadors at the
time, such as Kieren Perkins and Grant Hackett, and it is an honour to
be following in their footsteps. I have always trained hard to achieve
the best results possible, and it is a huge boost of confidence to have a
global brand like Speedo partnering with me over the coming years,"
says Cowdrey.
Sean
Hastings, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Speedo
International said: "We're delighted to welcome Matt to the Speedo team.
His competitive performance on swimming's world stage makes him one of
the most well-respected swimmers in the pool today. Matt demonstrates
that you can achieve anything you put your mind to."
Closer
home, Speedo sponsors Paralympian Sharath Gayakwad, who also
participated at the London Paralympic Games where he swam personal best
times in all the five events he participated in.
