“It takes incredible athleticism, dedication and drive to earn the OCR World Championships medal,” said OCRWC Sponsorship Director Sandra Sawyer. “What better way to display such an amazing achievement than on an exclusive OCRWC medal hanger made by a company that is concerned as much about quality and craftsmanship as our athletes are about reaching their goals? Thanks to our partnership with 1000Podiums, our phenomenal athletes will be able to showcase their 2016 OCR World Championships medals with pride on hangers worthy of praise!”
“I’ve always loved sports, especially OCR, and found athletes inspiring; they really do have to achieve almost superhuman mental, emotional and physical strength to be successful,” said Anne-Marie Hudon, owner and designer at 1000Podiums. “Paying homage to them and their spectacular accomplishments is what 1000Podiums does best, and why we are absolutely honored and thrilled that our creations are the official medal hangers for this year’s OCRWC.”
