Swiss Olympic and OCHSNER SPORT have extended their Premium Partnership until the end of 2028. At the same time, Swiss Olympic has been able to gain a new Official Partner with On. Tennis star Roger Federer is also delighted at the association of the three Swiss organisations.
In future, two well-known Swiss business enterprises, OCHSNER SPORT and On, will be providing the appropriate clothing of the Swiss delegations to Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and all other Olympic missions. Swiss Olympic and the leading Swiss specialist sports retailer OCHSNER SPORT have renewed the partnership, which has existed since 2015, ahead of time, extending it until the end of 2028 and, with that, until after the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The successful Swiss performance shoe and clothing brand On is supporting Swiss Olympic as Official Partner with immediate effect and likewise until 2028.
Thus, the athletes of the Swiss Olympic Team will be radiating pure Swissness when, at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on 23rd July 2021, they enter the Olympic Stadium of Tokyo, kitted out by OCHSNER SPORT with On clothing and On shoes. «Strong and reliable equipment-supply sponsors are of central importance to Swiss Olympic. So, we are particularly pleased that, in OCHSNER SPORT and On, we are able to count on top Swiss brands which stand for quality, innovation and excellence. Values that are important to Swiss Olympic», says Roger Schnegg, Director of Swiss Olympic.
Through the partnerships of Swiss Olympic with OCHSNER SPORT, on the one hand, and On, on the other hand, Swiss athletes benefit from the network of the biggest sports equipment retailers in the country, whose network of branches has more than 80 retail outlets nationally, and from the research and development of the Swiss running shoe brand On.
«With the renewal of the longstanding partnership with Swiss Olympic, OCHSNER SPORT is investing in and promoting ‘sports field Switzerland’ on a lasting basis», says Horst Hauer, CEO of OCHSNER SPORT. «In addition, we are pleased to consolidate the strategic partnership with On and, from spring 2021, to offer the official and exclusive Swiss Olympic collection for Tokyo 2021 in our OCHSNER SPORT stores and in the online shop.»
Based in Zurich, On has grown steadily since it was established in 2010 and, meanwhile, runs branches in the USA, Japan, China, Australia and Brazil. «At On, we are all very proud of the fact that the best Swiss athletes will be wearing a Swiss brand at Olympic and Paralympic Games», explains Caspar Coppetti, co-founder of On. «It was particularly important to us that as many talented young athletes as possible be given access to On products and to our biomechanical know-how.»
The prospect of competing for the Swiss Olympic Team, kitted out by On and OCHSNER SPORT, at the Summer Games in Tokyo next summer is also gratifying for Roger Federer. «I am very pleased to announce that «On» is to be a new partner of Swiss Olympic», says the Swiss tennis star and co-owner of On in a video statement posted on the social media channels of On, Ochsner Sport and Swiss Olympic.
