Red Bull in the Winter Olympics

This post may not be entirely F1 relevant, in fact, it’s not really relevant to F1 at all, but it is relevant to Red Bull.

The Winter Olympics is one of my favourite sporting events, and I love it when it comes around, and a few people who I have spoken to on Twitter seem to be catching the Winter Olympics bug too! The giant energy drink manufacturer who own our two favourite F1 teams, also back two big athletes in the Olympics who you should support!

Shaun White

23-year-old American Shaun White is a snowboarder, who has won just about everything he has participated in, from Winter Olympics gold in Torino 2006 to gold in the X-games skateboarding! Shaun will be participating in the men’s halfpipe on February 17th!

Lindsey Vonn

25-year-old American Lindsey Vonn is an alpine skier, who won gold medals in the 2009 World Championships last year, but has never won an Olympic medal. Lets hope this year is her first!

Lindsey has a packed schedule, and is competing in the Ladies’ Downhill, Ladies’ Super Combined, Ladies’ Super-G, Ladies’ Slalom and Ladies’ Giant Slalom on 17th February, 18th February, 20th February, 26th February and February 24th respectively.

Leave me a comment if you are also enjoying the Winter Olympics!

  1. Haha been loving the Winter Olympics… Ok I lie I’ve been loving the snowboard cross :D

    Red Bull love to sponsor lots of extreme sports. Have you seen the guy that’s jumping out of a plane in space and free falling to earth. He is INSANE

  2. You should do more posts about the people Red Bull sponsor :) there’s so many and they do such crazy/cool things :)

  3. This is the first year ‘ve ever really watched the Winter Olympics and it is much better than the normal olympics.
    Snowboard cross was bonkers! I’ll probably watch the rest of the games now too and maybe pull out my Top Gear Winter Olympics Special dvd. :p

  4. Nice post! It’s over now. It’s been a good one.
