The Olympians Reunion Centre by EY went live on the International Olympic Committee’s official Facebook page, reaching out and engaging new audiences and fans with a tour of the venue with US Olympian Garrett Hines.

Hines, a double Olympian who competed for the USA in bobsleigh at the 1998 and 2002 Olympic Games, guided the Olympic Channel through the ORC as part of a live broadcast. As he went he pointed out many of the venue’s great features such as the Olympians wall where visiting Olympians are invited to sign their names, the Olympians for Life exhibition featuring five inspiring Olympians who embody the Olympic values, the Modern Pentathlon demonstration shooting gallery and the Olympic Torch.

More than 107,000 fans of the Olympic Games have viewed the video and it has been liked over 3,000 times after it went live on the IOC’s Facebook page on Monday.
