Sky Brown, a thirteen-year-old skateboarding prodigy and surfer, is the youngest athlete to ever represent Team GB. Under normal circumstances, she would have all her family, friends, and fans to support her.? This year, however, there are no spectators, and they kept the entourage of all the athletes to a bare minimum owing to the safety precautions amid the pandemic. Samsung is helping young athletes like Sky stay in touch and connect with her family during the Tokyo Olympics.

Samsung helps Athletes stay connected

All 17,000 Olympic and Paralympic competitors arriving in Tokyo are provided with smartphones on behalf of Samsung.

“Sports are inherently emotional?you’re cheering, celebrating wins, grieving loses with each other and with athletes,” Marcelo Padoca, executive idea director at The Community, says Muse. “But this year we can’t all be together. So, the spot is a story about people being brought together over great distances by Samsung, giving them the experience that’s just like being at the Games in person.”?

“We wanted to show that we’ll all be together, even though we’re apart,” Padoca says.

Such notions are part of sport and part of the Olympic Games. This presents Samsung in the best possible light and helps reach younger audiences.?
