The British Olympic Association (BOA) has launched a new website giving easy access to British Olympians for inspirational after-dinner talks, motivational speeches and events.


The new site, www.britisholympians.com, provides profiles of all British Olympic athletes and makes it easy for companies, sponsors and other organisations to request them for anything from advertising to internal promotions.

Double gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes, Curling champion Rhona and Triple Jumper Jonathan Edwards are amongst the many athletes featured on the site.

Simon Clegg, Chief Executive of the BOA, said: "To be an Olympian is to be a member of one of the most exclusive clubs in the world.

"No amount of money can buy that membership. It only comes with a fantastic amount of dedication and hard work to supplement a natural talent for their chosen discipline.

"Every Olympian has a story to tell and many organisations have already recognised the value of utilising this talent to help motivate their own staff."
