\nThe BTC Company has once again shown its support for the
\nSlovenian gymnastics team at the Atlantis Water Park. Signing new
\nsponsor contracts with eight
\ngymnasts, the BTC Company aims to strengthen the development of
\nSlovenian gymnastics in 2015.
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\nAmong the eight BTC-sponsored gymnasts this year there are two
\nwomen, namely Teja Belak and Saša Golob, the renowned gymnasts Mitja
\nPetkovšek, Sašo
\nBertoncelj, Alen Dimic, Rok Klavora, and \u017diga Šilc, and the young
\naspiring talent Luka Kišek. Over the past year, all of them achieved
\nnumerous outstanding
\nresults, which placed them at the very top at various gymnastics
\nevents.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe contract-signing ceremony was held at the Professional health
\ncentre of the Atlantis Water Park. Upon signing the agreement,
\n
\nJo\u017ee Mermal, president of the BTC Management Board, emphasized
\nthe importance of supporting our gymnasts and advancing gymnastics as a
\nway of life
\n<\/strong>
\n: ?Supporting athletes and sports events is not merely an investment
\nin individuals and in the company. It is above all an investment in the
\ndevelopment of
\nSlovenian sport, which, along with the promotion of sport as a
\nhealthy way of life, presents an investment in the future. This year,
\nnational and
\ninternational competitions will be held, where we will have the
\nchance to cheer for our gymnasts and take our sports culture even
\nfurther. I have no doubt
\nthat we will have several opportunities to celebrate their success.?\n<\/p>\n

\nThe ceremony was given a special flavour by the attendance of Miroslav Cerar, legendary Slovenian gymnast<\/strong> and one of the most successful
\nSlovenian athletes of all times. Ivan Levak, president of the Slovenian Gymnastics Federation,<\/strong>
\nexpressed his content about the renewed
\ncooperation: ?We are happy about today?s event, which once again
\nproved that gymnastics ranks high among the most important sports in
\nSlovenia. A special
\nappreciation goes to the BTC Company, which transcends a mere
\nsponsor relationship, and, naturally, to Jo\u017ee Mermal, who can be
\ndescribed as a genuine
\npatron of gymnastics. We are proud of our long-lasting cooperation,
\nbased on mutual trust and support, resulting in our gymnasts? success.?\n<\/p>\n

\nThe BTC Company is one of the leading actors in the field of social
\nresponsibility and sustainable development in Slovenia. Numerous
\ninvestments in
\nsocially responsible projects have become an inseparable part of the
\ncompany?s business model. The year 2014 alone saw over 200 different
\nsponsorships and
\ndonations of the Company, with several activities already starting
\nin 2015 as well. This way, the BTC Company presents opportunities for
\nindividuals as
\nwell as organisations that want to present themselves in their own
\nfield at home and abroad. At the same time, these endeavours also affect
\nthe
\nsatisfaction and the number of visitors in the shopping centres,
\nstrengthen the reputation and raise the value of the BTC Company.\n<\/p>\n
