Matt Lederer, VP, Branded Partnerships & Amplification at
Comcast. “The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will be a truly unique

Games home. By highlighting these athletes’ remarkable stories of

As part of the partnership, Comcast will support the growth of
existing USAG programs serving disabled athletes, including HUGS,
and will explore pilots for adaptive programs in the sport.

the journeys of USA Gymnastics athletes,” USAG President and CEO Li
Li Leung said. “The company’s commitment to innovation and to
athletes in programs ranging from HUGS to the Olympic Team will
serve the sport in a holistic way.”
The U.S. men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics national
championships will be titled as the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics
Championships through 2024, with the 2023 Xfinity U.S.
Gymnastics Championships set for August 24-26 in San Jose,
California. Xfinity also will serve as presenting partner of USAG’s
announcement of their National, World Championships, and Olympic
Teams.

Comcast embraced when it acquired NBCUniversal in 2011, immediately
securing the U.S. media rights from the International Olympic
Committee, which now extend through 2032.
