Olympic Training Center Receives Gifts
May 2008
With the collaborated efforts of Table Tennis's Pam Ramsey (USTTF
Marketing) and Newgy
Industries, the USA Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Chula Vista, CA is up
and running with new table tennis equipment for Olympic and Paralympic
athletes cross training and recreation. Upon a recent visit to OTC with
newly USOC-selected USATT Board Member Christian Lillieroos and USTTF
Marketing Director (also former USATT Executive Director) Clark Mitchell to discuss the future of table
tennis with OTC’s director Tracy Lamb, Ramsey spoke to many of the resident
athletes who were preparing for the 2008 Olympic Games in China and
learned of their interest in table tennis ---- and the lack of decent
equipment available to them. Casey Tibbs, current Paralympic World
Champion High Jumper and Jeff Skiba, a Paralympian who just broke the
World Record high jump at 7’ 6”, are particularly interested in Table
Tennis, having recently become members of the San Diego Table Tennis
Association (SDTTA). Ramsey’s connection with Newgy Industries as a Robot
Sales Representative, led to an exceptional donation of equipment
(Rackets, Barriers and more) to the Olympic Training Center with much
appreciation from the center’s leaders, resident athletes, visiting
Olympic hopefuls from Archery, Softball, Soccer and Field Hockey. Pam
states that a special thanks goes to Larry Thoman, General Manager of
Newgy Industries, who made the contribution to the USA Olympic Training
Center possible on her and Newgy’s behalf. |
