Kicks Off April 1 in Support of U.S. Judo Olympian Marti Malloy
(FORT WORTH, Tex.) – Dollamur Sport Surfaces (Dollamur) – the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance sports flooring for martial arts, mixed martial arts, wrestling, gymnastics, cheerleading and yoga – today announces it will launch its #MatMoment Contest on April 1, 2016 to support U.S. Judo Olympian Marti Malloy's pursuit of an Olympic gold medal and celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary.
Social media users are asked a simple question: "What is Your #MatMoment?" This memory could be winning a competition, training for a big event, or something as simple as a daily exercise. For example, Malloy's #MatMoment was winning a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics in London.
"I am excited to have Dollamur's support as I train for Rio and hope to achieve my dream of winning a gold medal," says Malloy, a native of Whidbey Island, Wash. "Dollamur's high-quality, durable and safe mats provide me with the peace-of-mind to push myself to the next level."
To kick off its anniversary contest, Dollamur is offering a grand prize trip to San Jose, Calif., which includes a meet-and-greet with Malloy, tickets to watch a training session and $500 in spending money. Additional weekly prizes, such as product giveaways and gift cards, will be awarded to contestants based on originality and impact of message. A panel of judges will utilize this criterion to determine winners.
