South Korea-based sportswear manufacturer Fila has struck a deal with the Royal Dutch Skating Association (KNSB) to sponsor a number of the country’s skating teams.
The deal will run for four years, from 2014-15 until 2017-18 and will cover the 2018 winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Under the deal, Fila will supply ice skates to the Dutch long track and short track speed skating teams, as well as the national figure skating and inline skating teams.
The agreement also includes the personal sponsorship of Dutch long track speed skater and three-time Olympic gold medal-winner Sven Kramer.
