@SamsungMobileSA Applauds SA Cyclist @nich_dlamini After Performance At #Tokyo2021 Olympic Games #StrongerTogether

Hi Friends, 

The first South African of colour to compete in the Tour de France took on the world’s elite athletes at the Tokyo Olympic Games. His determined performance was inspired by his career journey – from his township roots in Capricorn Park, Cape Town to take on the world’s best on an international stage. Samsung, as a technology partner to the 2020 Olympics, proudly supported this local hero as he chased down his Olympic dream. In conjunction with the International Olympic Committee, Samsung launched the #StrongerTogether project, where people across the globe including South Africa, can actively show their support for Olympic athletes such as Dlamini. Making his Olympic debut for the country, he was part of a five-man breakaway in the gruelling 234km race in late July in Tokyo. Samsung chatted with the inspiring star:

“Being in the South African Olympic Team was a dream come true. For me, it was a busy few weeks after participating in my maiden Tour de France at the beginning of the month. Our team were young and proud to participate in this gruelling competition. Being a part of the five-rider leading pack, and sensing the support of the South Africans who had woken up early to watch us as we saw the Fuji International Speedway, outside Tokyo, in the distance was extremely motivating. Whilst we never finished in the medals, the lessons were learnt and the support we received will stay with us as we take on all future challenges. Being so far away from home, it was great to instantly connect with family and friends through my Galaxy S21, provided to Olympic athletes. I’m going to enjoy and treasure looking at the Olympic rings printed on this special device,” said Dlamini.

South Africans are encouraged to support amazing South African athletes like Nic Dlamini in the Olympics and be a part of the #StrongerTogether campaign. This includes the chance for Olympic athletes and fans to stay connected and enjoy a virtual walk together via the Samsung Health app. The campaign is based on the power of technology and human connection to create a shared commitment to diversity and inclusion. Samsung aims to spread the Olympic spirit through innovative products, enabling all fans around the world to stay connected and share the excitement of the Olympic movement. This is an exciting moment for South Africans to rally behind local talent such as Nic Dlamini.

“The world moves forward only when it moves together. As we have done in the past in South Africa, we must continue to use sport to bring hope and optimism to all. Through diversity and inclusion, we can use the power of sport for the greater good, “concluded Dlamini.

Samsung will continue to partner with world-class athletes who defy barriers and inspire fans through their athletic achievements and off-field contributions to their communities. Their stories showcase strength, resilience and determination to bring hope, unity and inspiration to people around the world.

Cheers!!!

@SamsungSA Amplifies Olympic Games Partnership With Inspiring #StrongerTogether Campaign

Hi Friends, 

This July, the world’s greatest athletes will fire up the Olympic spirit as they compete in Tokyo for the 2020 Games, starting 23 July to 8 August 2021. Ahead of this journey, Samsung announced an exciting new campaign involving the public and athletes. Samsung has been a mobile technology partner to the Olympics for 30 years and is committed to continuing the legacy of enabling meaningful connections through innovative technologies. The #StrongerTogether campaign is based on the power of technology and human connection to create a shared commitment to diversity and inclusion. To bring this concept to life, Samsung, in conjunction with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will launch the project, where Olympic athletes and fans stay connected and enjoy a virtual walk together via the Samsung Health app. The brand hopes this will inspire consumers to unlock their potential, and not only to feel and share the excitement but also to create it.

Samsung aims to spread the Olympic spirit through our innovative products, enabling all fans around the world to stay connected and share the excitement of the Olympic movement,” said Dudu Mokholo, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Africa. “We are proud to extend our involvement as it is meaningful to us to inspire people through the passion that lies behind the Games and contribute to a healthier life for all. This is also an exciting moment for South Africans to rally behind our talented athletes as they go for gold”.

How the #StrongerTogether Challenge works

• People around the world and South Africa, influencers and athletes, will be invited to walk together ‘virtually’ in a challenge powered by the Samsung Health App
• Participants’ steps will be accumulated during the challenge period
• There will be milestone pop-ups in the Samsung Health app and special digital badges for goal achievers
• South Africans are encouraged to participate and look out for the #StrongerTogether hashtag as they proudly support local athletes

On your Samsung device > Go to Samsung Health app > Click Together tab icon > Click Challenge card> and join the movement!

The ultimate aim is to remind people to stay stronger and united as global citizens through the power of human connection and technology, in a celebration of cultural diversity. It echoes the Olympic theme of Striving For Your Personal Best.

“Samsung, as a proud Olympics partner will showcase how innovative Galaxy technology including the power of 5G and intelligent health-focused innovations can change lives for the better. We’re pleased to offer technology that is available to all and exclusive to none,” concludes Mokholo.

Cheers!!!
