The official winter kit supplier for Team Ireland at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games has been revealed as VIST Italy Srl, a renowned company in the winter sports sector that is engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of high-quality winter products.
The agreement between VIST and the Olympic Federation of Ireland will run from the Beijing Olympics right the way through to Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
“We are delighted to work with VIST, who have worked with us on creating clothing for Team Ireland that not only is attractive but is comfortable and of high quality,” said Chef de Mission Nancy Chillingworth.
“This is the Olympic Games, the pinnacle of an athlete’s career, and we believe it is important that the athletes look and feel good. The temperatures here drop as low as -12 degrees, so having the right kit is really important, and we are looking forward to watching the athletes proudly walk into the stadium together looking good on the 4th February for the Opening Ceremony of the Games.”
“VIST is proud to be the official winter kit supplier for the Irish Olympic Team at Beijing 2022,” added Operations Manager, Tamara Gisem.
“Our expertise has allowed us to create state of the art apparel to support our athletes on the Olympic stage. Let’s go Team Ireland”
Ireland’s team of six athletes across Alpine, Cross Country and Freestyle skiing, Luge and Snowboarding have begun to make their way to Beijing via a training camp in Innsbruck.
The Opening Ceremony is on February 4th with Jack Gower and Thomas Westgard our first competitors in action on Sunday 6th.
Sport for Business Perspective
Look good, feel good, perform good. That’s a well-versed truism in sport and performance and while the team is small it will stand out. We will be following the action at the Games with a build-up through next week and a Daily Diary through the two weeks of competition.
