Puma signed a new contract with rising track & field star, Pierre-Ambroise Bosse. The French Olympian who specialises in middle distance running is another strong addition to Puma running roster that was further expanded in recent weeks with the signing of Asafa Powell, Jenna Prandini, Michelle Jenneke and others.
Running the second best 800m time in the world in 2014, a French national outdoor record, Bosse is a middle distance runner with huge potential. He will become an important ambassador for the Puma brand as his image and performance reputation continues to grow in France and other markets, featuring in Running Training marketing activations in the countdown to the 2016 Olympics.
Speaking about the new partnership with Puma, Pierre-Ambroise Bosse said, “I’m extremely happy to be joining Puma at such an important time in my career. This brand has such a strong history in track and field and I am proud to be part of such an exciting group of athletes. Puma understands my performance needs as well as my personality and I really like the shoes and training wear they are developing. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Puma.”
Pascal Rolling, Puma’s head of sports marketing for running said, “Pierre-Ambroise Bosse is another great addition to the team here at Puma both on a local and international level, as his career in track and field really begins to take off. He is admired not only for his impressive performances, but also his charisma and good attitude which is evident both on and off the track. With Rio on the horizon, we look forward to working with him in 2016 and beyond.”
Pierre-Ambroise Bosse reached the Men’s 800m Semi-finals at the London Olympics in 2012 shortly after winning the bronze medal at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki. His personal outdoor best is 1:42.53 which was set in Monaco on 18 July 2014. Bosse's 800 metres time is 2nd best in the world in 2014 and a French national outdoor Track and Field record.
