REFRESH LIKE A CHAMPION WITH TEAM COCA-COLA ATHLETES

Team Coca‑Cola consists of a remarkable group of Olympic and Paralympic athletes who reflect excellence, diversity, and the spirit of winter sports. Team Coca‑Cola athletes include Connor McDavid (Hockey), Cynthia Appiah (Bobsleigh), Jordan Pierre-Gilles (Speed Skating), Mikael Kingsbury (Freestyle Skiing), Natalie Spooner (Hockey), and Tyler McGregor (Para Ice Hockey). These athletes will help amplify the multifaceted campaign while inspiring and uniting Canadian fans during the period of the Olympic Games.

"I couldn’t be prouder to wear the maple leaf and represent Canada on the world stage. The Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games are such a huge part of who we are as Canadians—the excitement, the passion, and the pride we feel watching our athletes give it their all,” said Connor McDavid. “It’s incredible to be part of Team Coca‑Cola and to share this journey with so many other amazing athletes. These moments bring us together as a country, and I’m ready to give my all and share the spirit of the Olympic Games with Canadians everywhere."

“The Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games are a celebration of the dedication, perseverance, and passion that define sport,” said Tyler McGregor. “Every day offers a new opportunity to push my limits and grow stronger, and the journey to the Olympic Games is one I’m proud to share with fans. Together, in Partnership with Coca‑Cola, we’ll honour the inspirational spirit of sport, bringing people from all corners of the world closer.”
