Gold Medalists Help McDonald's Kick-off Winter Games

McDonald's is in Vancouver to launch its global activities for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Olympic gold medalists Cassie Campbell, Shawn Johnson, Picabo Street and Katarina Witt participated in a fun food competition to promote a first look at an upcoming McDonald's menu item, Real Fruit Smoothies. Olympic gold medalists - Canadian ice hockey team captain Cassie Campbell, U.S. gymnast Shawn Johnson and U.S. alpine skier Picabo Street were each teamed with a pair of McDonald's Champion Kids (MCK) to create their own smoothie flavors and earn McDonald's first "medals" of the Games. The McDonald's Champion Kids program debuted at the Beijing Games in 2008. It provides children ages 6-14 with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the Games first-hand.
