The double 800m Olympics Champion Caster Semenya who has vowed to sturn the world in the Olympics got a big boost over the weekend when Bridgestone South Africa announced her as their ambassador which will feature as part of their “Chase Your Dream, No Matter What” campaign.
Semenya will be joined by fellow Olympic medallists Josia Thugwane and Lawrence Brittain in becoming Bridgestone ambassadors.
The tyre company said their campaign is aimed at championing the ambassadors, who they say have shown an “extraordinary determination to fulfill their sporting dreams and reach Olympic Games success”.
“It is hoped the campaign will help motivate people to strive and overcome adversity to realise their ambitions”, the company added.

“I want to keep making history, to be the strongest and the greatest,” Semenya said on the Bridgestone campaign.
“But I also want to show the next generation that anything is achievable. If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can conquer the world.”
Bridgestone Corporation announced last month it had formed its largest global roster of athlete ambassadors to date in support of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
More than 75 athletes are being supported by the tyre and rubber manufacturer, which is a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner.
