The Olympic spirit of 'faster, higher, stronger--more unity' coincides with TCL's corporate spirit of 'changing and innovation, pursuing excellence, and daring to be extraordinary'. For more than 30 years, TCL has always been working with global sports, from the Chinese women's volleyball team to the CBA, from the FIBA ​​to the NFL and the Americas Cup, and then to becoming a global Olympic partner this year. The Olympic spirit has always inspired TCL to become the longest partner in the sports industry. We will also cherish this glory, make the Olympic Games more exciting and let the Olympic spirit shine forever."
