About Us | Sytner Coventry - Coventry

Why we're getting behind Steve Lewis and London 2012.

We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting local pole vaulter, Steve Lewis, as he attempts to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Following the appointment of BMW Group as the Official Automotive Partner of the 2012 Games, BMW is now actively supporting British athletes, such as Ellie Simmonds and Louis Smith, via the BMW London 2012 Performance Team. Meanwhile, in line with the Performance Team initiative, BMW dealers like us will be working with local athletes, supporting their endeavours to qualify for Team GB or ParalympicsGB.

Steve Lewis trains locally at the training centre in Loughborough, as well as in London. Stoke-on-Trent-born Steve had early success at the Pole Vault as a junior and by 2006 had won his first medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. He has since won two medals at the Commonwealth Games. His best achievements are finishing seventh in the World Championships in Berlin and sixth at the World Indoor Championships in Doha.

Steve commented: ‘I love BMWs and can't believe that I'm going to be driving a brand new BMW 320d Coupé from now until the end of London 2012. I have a really demanding training schedule and I do a lot of travelling to promote the Games so having the BMW is brilliant. Thank you so much Sytner Coventry and BMW.’

‘It's fantastic to have a local athlete hoping to qualify for London 2012,’ said Andy Crossan, Dealer Principal at Sytner Coventry. ‘We're really rooting for Steve and are delighted to be involved in his journey. Backing Steve makes us all feel as if we're playing a part in the London 2012 Games too.’
