U.S. Olympic Committee and Fantasy Sports Ventures develop custom online marketing program

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) and Fantasy Sports Ventures (FSV), the fastest growing top 10 sports property, today announced that they are working together to deliver teamusa.org content via a customized widget throughout the expansive Fantasy Sports Ventures network of websites. The initiative will extend through Team USA's competition in Vancouver in February 2010.

The customized widget will deliver video, athlete profile and social networking content across TeamUSA.org and FSV's sites, which reach more than 14 million unique users per month.

Between now and February 1, Team USA will nominate more than 200 athletes to represent the United States at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.  FSV has developed the "Making Team USA presented by Hilton Worldwide" widget that will provide fans with access to daily video updates and athlete profiles available from TeamUSA.org. The widget will incorporate Team USA sponsors and drive traffic to TeamUSA.org.  FSV will also facilitate fan interaction with Team USA athletes through a custom social media module included in the widget.

The widget can be viewed or downloaded from teamusa.org and throughout the FSV network of websites, which include KFFL, The Huddle and Hoopshype.
