Olympic prize-winners are gifted a Chery on peak

Attending the Olympic Games to represent your country in your preferred sport is a significant privilege, yet athletes frequently need to depend on sponsorship agreements to sustain themselves.

Nevertheless, an offer by the Malaysian branch of Chinese automaker Chery will guarantee that those who triumph won’t have to be concerned about transportation when they return home.

In preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chery Malaysia pledged to award any of the nation’s Olympians who achieve a medal a complimentary vehicle.

For champions, the reward up for grabs is a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, while those who secure silver or bronze medals will be provided with an Omoda E5 and Tiggo 7 Pro, respectively.

It may have taken more than a week, but the initial athletes to benefit from the initiative secured the nation’s first medals of the Games over the weekend.

Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik clinched bronze in the men’s badminton doubles, replicating the achievement they attained in Tokyo three years ago. They will each acquire a Tiggo 7 Pro upon returning to Malaysia from France.

Malaysia is yet to attain a gold medal at the Olympic Games, although the nation’s first athlete to attain the top prize seems to now have an additional incentive to complement the athletic honor.

Toyota continues to be the official vehicle provider of the Olympics, while we are nearly a quarter of a century beyond Holden occupying that position for the 2000 Sydney edition.
