USOC Extends Chobani Yogurt Partnership

The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has extended its partnership with Chobani, see the No.1-selling greek yogurt brand in America, through 2020.

Through this extension, Chobani will serve as the official yogurt provider to Team USA for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

“Chobani has served as an important addition to our roster of partners, and we are thrilled the company will remain in the USOC sponsor family through 2020,” said USOC chief marketing officer Lisa Baird. “Through its ongoing commitment to creating healthy products and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, Chobani has been an integral partner in our mission to support the competitive aspirations of current and future Team USA athletes, many of whom include Chobani in their diets and training regimens.”

The USOC first announced its partnership with Chobani in 2012, representing a new category in its roster of industry-leading sponsors. In 2014, Chobani packaging featured winter sport icons with the tagline, “naturally powering Team USA.” Through the terms of the new agreement, Chobani will continue to carry the Team USA logo through the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“Our partnership with Team USA couldn’t be a more natural fit, and we’re extremely proud to continue helping these athletes on their journeys for gold,” said Peter McGuinness, Chobani chief marketing and brand officer. “Like the athletes and teams we’re naturally powering, we strive to deliver our best each and every day.”

A wide range of Chobani products will continue to be made available to athletes living or training at the U.S. Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs, Colo., Chula Vista, Calif., and Lake Placid, N.Y. In addition, USOC dietitians and culinary teams will continue to work closely with Chobani to incorporate the high-protein food into pre-competition and training menus.
