Egyptian Olympians will be wearing authentic Nike products at the London Games as the renowned American company decided to donate its equipment for free.
Egypt’s Olympic team members have been subjected to an embarrassing debacle after discovering that the uniforms and equipment they have received are fake.
But Nike has decided to save the day for the beleaguered Egyptian delegation, a few hours before the opening ceremony of the big event.
“We are extremely happy that while these athletes are enjoying the greatest sporting event they will be able to wear genuine Nike product,” the US-based company said in a statement.
Egyptian officials revealed that Nike insisted on donating the gear for free despite being offered money.
