“We are excited to have such an outstanding group of athletes representing us at the 2016 Summer Olympics,” said Greg Venner, Chief Executive Officer of KT Health. “These athletes have dedicated their lives to their respective sports and we are honored that we can provide the support they need to make their Olympic dreams become a reality.”
In March, KT Tape was named an official licensee of the United States Olympic Committee and entered partnerships with six national governing bodies including USA Cycling, USA Gymnastics, USA Rugby, USA Track & Field, USA Triathlon and USA Wrestling to add to its existing relationship with U.S. Soccer.
As part of the USOC partnership, the brand created a limited edition line of Team USA tape complete with USA text and the Olympic rings. The tape is available in red, blue and black and can be purchased at retailers including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart and CVS Pharmacy, as well as online at KTTape.com.
