Brittany Elmslie is Speedo’s new endorser
Australian swimming star and Olympic gold medalist Brittany Elmslie has signed up as the brand ambassador for Speedo. The deal will see her compete in Speedo swimwear right up to 2014.
The agreement closely follows a series of spectacular performances during 2012, as the 18-year-old announced her arrival on the world stage in London by securing a gold medal in the 4x100m Freestyle, together with a further two Silver medals in the 4x200m Freestyle and the 4x100m Medley.
As part of Speedo’s long-standing partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee, Brittany wore Speedo swimwear throughout the London Games as she swam to her medal triumphs, and has now become the latest member of the Australian Swimming Team to secure an individual agreement with the world’s leading swimwear brand.
Coinciding with the announcement of the new deal, Brittany was joined by Olympic teammates and fellow Speedo ambassadors including James Magnussen, Eamon Sullivan, Libby Trickett and Bronte Barratt at the Bondi Icebergs swimming pool on Bondi Beach, as they modelled Speedo’s exciting new collection of swimwear for Spring/Summer 2013, marking the beginning of her new ambassadorial role.
Sean Hastings, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Speedo International, said: “The 2012 Olympics saw the emergence of many of swimming’s brightest new talents, and Brittany was without doubt one of the young stars of the games thanks to her inspiring medal-winning performances. We are absolutely delighted to announce this new partnership, and we look forward to working closely with Brittany over the coming years as she looks to achieve even greater success.”
