Wayde van Niekerk’s face may already adorn billboards at Pellies Park on the Bloemfontein Campus and other places around the University of the Free State, but it will now also be used for marketing campaigns worldwide.
The Kovsie athlete will be one of the Adidas world ambassadors for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Adidas is sponsoring him.
According to a modest Van Niekerk, he has been with the clothing sponsor since 2010, and it is a great honour to be an ambassador for the Olympics in Rio
Other awards
After a dream year, being an Adidas ambassador is the latest honour to come his way.
He was also nominated for two awards in the SA Sports Awards, which will be held in the Sand du Plessis Theatre in Bloemfontein on Sunday 22 November 2015. He was nominated as Sportsman of the Year and in the People’s Choice category.
On 21 October 2015, Van Niekerk was named KovsieSport’s Sportsman of the Year for a third consecutive year.
He was recently also honoured at the Free State Schools Athletics Association’s Gold Medal event.
A world superstar
Van Niekerk says it’s good to be part of the legacy Adidas is building as a company.
“It is exciting for me, knowing that I am selected among such great athletes (being an Adidas ambassador), and not just South African athletes, but world athletes,” he says.
“It is the likes of the top Adidas athletes that are going to represent the company and be ambassadors for the company.”
“It is something I am looking forward to – being on posters and seeing my face on billboards and advertisements.”
