Oakley, Inc. announced that its sponsored athletes earned 65 medals in Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. The final tally was 24 gold, 22 silver and 19 bronze.
“We could not be more proud of the performances these athletes achieved, nor more honored that they chose to rely on Oakley products for the greatest competitions of their lives,” said Oakley CEO Colin Baden. “Our icon was pervasive in Vancouver. Some may think it was a matter of sponsorship, but world-class athletes insist on Oakley technology because they demand the very best in performance and protection. These men and women committed years of their lives, enduring untold sacrifice to prepare for those few days in February that would give them a shot at achieving their dreams. Oakley has spent decades defying limits to redefine performance for those who strive to do the same in sports. There is no greater compliment than their trust of Oakley technology for the most important performances of their careers,” Baden concluded.
Among the winners with the U.S.’s Shaun White, Canada’s Alexandre Bilodeau and Canada’s Ashleigh McIvor.
