Volvo Extends Deal With Paul

Volvo Car UK continues to sponsor British, European, World and Olympic champion Paul Goodison until after London 2012

Paul Goodison has been backed by Volvo Car UK since 2005 - a period which has seen Paul enjoy the majority of his success and both parties will continue their strong relationship until at least London 2012 as the Olympic Champion from Sheffield aims to become the cities first double gold medallist. Volvo are pleased to support Paul's quest of back to back Olympic titles and the feeling is mutual as Paul said "I am really happy to have the backing of Volvo for another Olympic campaign. I want to replicate what I have done in the past by securing gold at the games here in 2012, as well as successfully defend my European and World Laser Championships" when asked about the Volvo sponsorship.

Paul has set his sights on maintaining his stranglehold over the Laser sailing class by going for an incredible sixth successive European title. When asked about his aims in a recent interview with the Press Association, Paul answered "the big thing for me this year is to try and maintain home advantage and to win a sixth European title on the trot would be good. I am going to miss an event in Germany and other regattas so that I can spend more time training at home in Olympic waters in June and July in Weymouth because I think that will hold me in good stead."

Paul is clearly focused on adding another Olympic Gold medal to his impressive collection of gold medals and Volvo shall be supporting him all the way to London 2012.
