USA Gymnastics (USAG) today announced that global media and technology company, Comcast, will have its Xfinity brand serve as the organization’s official mobile, internet, and video provider. Comcast will power the USA Gymnastics National Team as they prepare for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 while also championing the next generation of gymnasts nationwide.

“We are proud to partner with USA Gymnastics and support the incredible gymnasts who are pursuing their Olympic dreams,” said, Matt Lederer, VP, Branded Partnerships & Amplification at Comcast. “The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will be a truly unique celebration in one of the world’s most stunning cities and we look forward to once again bringing the thrill and excitement of the Games home. By highlighting these athletes’ remarkable stories of achievement, sportsmanship, and resilience, we hope to inspire the next generation.”

As part of the partnership, Comcast will support the growth of existing USAG programs serving disabled athletes, including HUGS, and will explore pilots for adaptive programs in the sport.

“We are so excited to welcome Comcast as a partner supporting the journeys of USA Gymnastics athletes,” USAG President and CEO Li Li Leung said. “The company’s commitment to innovation and to athletes in programs ranging from HUGS to the Olympic Team will serve the sport in a holistic way.”

The U.S. men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics national championships will be titled as the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships through 2024, with the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships set for August 24-26 in San Jose, California. Xfinity also will serve as presenting partner of USAG’s announcement of their National, World Championships, and Olympic Teams.

Among the athletes who are qualified to compete at the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships are Olympic medalists Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, and Jordan Chiles; World Championships medalists Shilese Jones, Leanne Wong, Kayla DiCello, Skye Blakely, Yul Modauer, Donnell Whittenburg, and Stephen Nedoroscik, and ascending stars Asher Hong, Fred Richard, and Joscelyn Roberson.

The new partnership builds on Comcast NBCUniversal’s longstanding commitment to the Olympic Games. For decades, NBC has been home to the incredible stories and inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games for millions of Americans, a legacy that Comcast embraced when it acquired NBCUniversal in 2011, immediately securing the U.S. media rights from the International Olympic Committee, which now extend through 2032.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
