I am confident that the Indian team will not just put up a stellar performance but will bring back medals for us as well."
To motivate the Samsung Olympic Ratnas, the Company has also announced a "Family Support" programme wherein Samsung will support the travel of one family member of the Olympic Ratna to the London Games. To rally support for the Indian Olympic team, Samsung has kicked off a digital campaign.  Samsung has set up a special page on Facebook with a "Fans Speak" application that allows fans to send their best wishes to the Indian team members. 
Additionally, Samsung has also created a special application on Olympics that can be downloaded on select Samsung Smartphones from the London 2012 category of the Samsung Mobile Apps store. Titled "PlayUp", the application allows users to download status including schedules, medal tally, key events and standings, as well as provide an access to a host of other interesting details pertaining to Games throughout the Olympics.
