It is with great pleasure that we can inform you that Team Lillehammer jump and combined have entered into a new and closer collaboration with Lillehammer Olympiapark AS (Olympiaparken). As of June 23, the team will change its name to Team Olympiaparken and rebranded with a new logo and profile under the Olympiaparken brand. The aim of the collaboration is to contribute to increased development of both the team and Olympiaparken's arenas and events.

We look forward to working with such good athletes and coaches. They train and compete in the best facilities in the world and will help develop our facilities and competitions. At the same time, we can add to the other skills and strengths around administration, visibility and collaboration partners. We always strive to develop Olympiaparken, and it is inspiring to have some of the world's best in performance culture join the company.

Per Olav Andersen, CEO of Olympiaparken

 

Through Olympiaparken's brand, communications department, sales network and administration, the collaboration will contribute to increased professionalism of the team. The coaches will also be employed in the Olympic Park and will contribute to the events with professional expertise alongside their coaching jobs. There have also been new jumpers to the team, led by Robert Johansson, among others.

Team Olympiaparken will constantly seek to be Norway's leading jumping team so that we can recruit athletes into the world top in the long term with our young athletes and in the short term with the experienced athletes we already have. We must be curious and innovative for Norwegian show jumping.

Karl Vegard Andersen, Leader of the steering group Team OIympiaparken

The launch and press conference will take place today, Friday 23 May at 12:00 in the Lysgårdsbakkene Jumping Complex.
