Mr Price Sport celebrated a successful day on Wednesday 13th November at the inaugural Mr Price Sport BlogOlympics, held at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The winning team was Team Cape Town (#TeamCPT), with Team Johannesburg (#TeamJozi) in second place and Team Durban (#TeamDBN) in third.
Team Cape Town’s Tyrone Woods (MyCityByNight.co.za) took the first place individual honours. He walked away with a 16GB Apple iPad 4, a Moses Mabhida Attractions Package and a R1000 Mr Price Sport voucher. Second place went to Team Cape Town’s Andrew Berry (we-are-awesome.com), winning him a Samsung S4 smartphone. Third place went to Team Jozi’s Uno de Waal (10and5.com), and so did a R2500 Mr Price Sport Voucher.
The award for Most Enthusiastic went to Team Jozi’s Nonhle Ndala, winning her 4 tickets to the Liverpool Legends vs. Kaizer Chiefs Legends soccer game. The Biggest Tosser awards went to Uno de Waal and Kate Nokwe (katenokwe.wordpress.com), who were both awarded with a set of Wilson golf sets for their tossing abilities.
Nikki Viljoen, Marketing Executive at Mr Price Sport, says,
“Mr Price Sport is delighted with the results of our inaugural BlogOlympics! It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and it was great to meet the bloggers who write about South Africa’s sporting events and heroes. We were very excited to see that the BlogOlympics (#BlogO13) was trending on Twitter before the games had even begun yesterday.”
Moses Mabhida Stadium, Tsogo Sun, East Coast Radio, VW Hoopers , 32Gi, Australian Gold Sun Care, Durban’s Spiga d’Oro restaurant and Uber all played massive roles in providing services and products for the BlogOlympics event.
Viljoen concludes,
“With Moses Mabhida Stadium’s magnificent arch forming the backdrop for the day’s events and Durban delivering a beautiful hot day, the vibe at the Mr Price Sport BlogOlympics was fantastic. East Coast Radio’s Jane Linley-Thomas’s live broadcast added to the hype and fun at People’s Park for the afternoon session. A great day like yesterday affirmed what we at Mr Price Sport all believe that sport and exercise are so important for the mind and the body, but that an element of fun should always be present. We look forward to planning the 2014 BlogOlympics and keeping the games going!”
