Zhik appointed official supplier to Australian Olympic Team

Technical sailing and watersports apparel brand Zhik has been appointed as the official supplier to the Australian Olympic Team, following the company’s recent appointment as an official apparel partner of Australian Sailing for the third consecutive Olympiad.

Zhik says it has worked closely with aspiring Olympic sailors to design the best technical apparel possible which has led to official supplier associations with the Australian, Danish, British, Singapore and New Zealand Sailing Teams.

“We welcome Zhik to our prestigious line up of team partners and official suppliers,” says AOC CEO, Matt Carroll. “Zhik’s consistent support of young athletes, from grassroots through to world class level, helps them get the most out of their performance.

“Zhik is a dynamic, Australian-grown brand at the forefront of performance watersports apparel and the AOC is thrilled Zhik’s innovative designs will be a positive force for our Sailing Team at Tokyo 2020.”
