OLBG.com sponsors Olympics hopeful
Betting Community site funding Britain's number one female table tennis player as she trains for the 2012 Olympics.
Sports betting community site OLBG.com are to sponsor reigning British women’s table tennis champion Kelly Sibley as she bids to compete at the London Olympics.
OLBG stepped in to pay for her training at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, used by other prospective Team GB members such as Jessica Ennis, after Sibley lost her funding from UK Sport. The sponsorship deal ends after the Olympics, but comes with an option to be extended until the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Sibley, currently Britain’s number one female table tennis player, recently jumped from 131 to 116 in the International Table Tennis Federation’s world rankings list.
