Team Irelands Fittest Sponsor

On May 26th 2023, our valued stakeholders came together for the second annual Team Ireland’s Fittest Sponsor event. Made to simulate the Olympic Games and similar in terms of competitiveness(!), this year saw six teams – our title sponsor Permanent TSB and partners Allianz, Deloitte, Flogas, McKeever and Sport Ireland – go head to head.

On the National Sports Campus, in front of a vocal crowd, all teams competed in six sports – with great encouragement from their own personal Olympic coaches. From Egg and Spoon to Gymnastics and even a Sack and Space Hopper Race, the games may sound easy but competition was tough! After many fierce battles and even a tie breaker winner-takes-all Tug of War, Deloitte were crowned worthy champions, joined on the podium by Permanent TSB in second and Flogas in third.

A special thank you to Gourmet Food Parlour (official catering supplier for Team Ireland) who provided the lunch and BBQ for our hungry teams and their fans, the Bash Brothers drumming trio and Viva School of Dance who provided the entertainment, Greg O’Shea who ensured our teams were warmed up and ready for action, Sport Ireland Campus for hosting us and of course to our sponsor and partners as well as our coaches for making the day such a success!
