Swimmer and Tokyo Olympics Games 2020 medal hopeful Ariarne Titmus has joined Team Bridgestone Australia.
Titmus will represent tyre and rubber company Bridgestone, looking to win an Olympic gold medal, which will be hosted in Bridgestone’s global home city.
She will encourage and inspire Australians through community driven activations as a Team Bridgestone Australia athlete.
“It’s been a massive year for me, both in and out of the pool, and capping it off by becoming a Team Bridgestone Australia athlete is the perfect way to round it out,” the 19-year-old swimmer says.
“I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the anniversary of my first world record than joining Bridgestone to spread the ‘Chase Your Dream’ message.”
Titmus joins three-time Olympian basketballer Joe Ingles, Olympic gold medallist runner Cathy Freeman, surfer Connor O’Leary, and reigning wheelchair tennis-doubles Olympic gold medallist Heath Davidson in spreading the ‘Chase Your Dream’ message of Bridgestone’s.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without self-belief, as well as the support of my team around me. I’m excited to partner with Bridgestone to help inspire the next generation of athletes and show what is possible when your dream, set goals and work hard,” Titmus adds.
Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand managing director Stephen Roche says they are honoured to have Titmus join the team.
“I have no doubt that Australians are as excited to follow her Olympics Games Tokyo 2020 journey as much as we are,” Roche says.
“Her passion and determination has seen her rise through the swimming ranks and we’re thrilled to help her share her story through our Olympics Games activity.”
Last month, Titmus won the coveted Australian Swimming of the Year award.
