Why we're getting behind Nicola Adams for London 2012.

We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting local boxer, Nicola Adams as she 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.

Nicola Adams trains locally, at the Haringey Police Community Club, Sheffield and has been boxing since the age of 12. Nicola is one of Britain's most successful female boxers, winning gold in 2008 World championships, gold in 2008 Haringey Box Cup England, gold in 2006 English amateur nation championships, gold in 2005 English amateur nation Championships, gold in 2004 International tournament in Hungary, gold in 2003 English Amateur National Championships, and gold in 2002 International Box Cup. Nicola has also won 4 silver and 2 bronze medals during her career as a boxer.

‘I'm really grateful to Scotthall Leeds and BMW for their support,’ said Nicola Adams. ‘It's tough trying to qualify for an Olympic place and it's a big help knowing that they are behind us, helping to raise funds and awareness. It's also fantastic having a brand new BMW 1 Series Convertible from now until the end of the 2012 Games. There's a lot of travelling to heats, competitions and promotional events so it's great being able to arrive there in style.’

Andrew Simpson, Dealer Principal at Scotthall Leeds said: ‘This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get really involved with the 2012 Games. Our staff and customers are keen to support London 2012 so we're really happy to be backing Nicola Adams, especially since Nicola is set to make history yet again by being one of the first female boxers to compete from England.’
