World Champion swimmer Michael Phelps has announced a long term partnership with Subway restaurants. Mr. Phelps will be representing the brand and joins a roster of athlete partners that have included Michael Strahan, Ryan Howard, Kimmie Meissner, Tony Parker, Laila Ali and Reggie Bush.
Subway prides itself on being a healthy and active brand. By working with Michael, they plan to illustrate that SUBWAY is a brand that can play a role in helping everyone - from elite athletes to weekend joggers - perform at their peak levels and make healthier, smarter choices about food, whatever the activity.
Michael Phelps made history when he became the only athlete to ever win eight gold medals at a single Games this summer in Beijing. He also holds the record for the most gold medals won by any athlete with a record 14. Through his Michael Phelps Foundation, Mr. Phelps promotes water safety and advocates swimming for children.
