Jamaican sprint hurdler Rasheed Broadbell has announced his partnership with American payment card services company Visa ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Broadbell will serve as one of 117 athletes recognized as Visa brand ambassadors.
“I am thrilled to have Team Visa on board for my road to Paris 2024 campaign, my first Olympic Games,” the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist said in a statement on Instagram on Friday.
“The support of a brand like Visa is pivotal as we continue to push boundaries and elevate the sports in our region. I am grateful to everyone who made this possible,” he added.
The 23-year-old is coming off a season which saw him finish as the second-fastest 110m hurdler in the world behind countryman Hansle Parchment.
Broadbell ran a personal best 12.94 to retain his Jamaican national title in July before unfortunately falling in the heats after clipping a hurdle at the World Championships in Budapest in August.
On a more positive note, he got wins at the NACAC New Life Invitational in the Bahamas on may 13 and the Rabat Diamond League on May 28.
