Today, we are pleased to announce the extraordinary group of athletes that Citi is sponsoring for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"Team Citi" features 13 Olympic and Paralympic alumni, qualifiers and hopefuls. This unique mix of talent was gathered by Citi to support an innovative and engaging program that will debut next month. Together, they've won 21 medals and represent a range of sports -- swimming, soccer, tennis, triathlon, gymnastics, track & field (Olympic/Paralympic) and sitting volleyball. They are individuals, siblings, parents, and veterans selected because they exemplify an unwavering commitment to excellence.
