As Official Partner to Team GB, we’ll work with the British Olympic Association (BOA) to deliver key initiatives including Get Set, the organisation’s youth engagement programme, and HomeGrown Heroes, an initiative to connect local athletes with their local community. Matthew Barnes, CEO for Aldi UK and Ireland, said “Our partnership with Team GB is the perfect way to celebrate our landmark 25th anniversary in the UK. We’re truly honoured to be supporting the extraordinary Team GB athletes on the road to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.”
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In the first modern Olympics, Athens 1896, first place winners were awarded silver medals and olive branches. Second place contestants were awarded bronze medals and third place finishers left empty handed. The first Olympic city to award Gold, Silver and Bronze medals was St. Louis in 1904.

The five rings of the Olympic flag symbolise the continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas and are said to be ‘linked together in friendship.’ At least one of the rings’ colours – blue, black, green, yellow and red – appear on every national flag of the world.
Back in March we announced a major partnership to support Team GB’s athletes, up to and during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
