Gay Games sponsor Ford celebrates employee Gay Games medals

"Ford takes Gold in Gay Games"

COLOGNE, Germany, August 31, 2010 -- Three Ford employees won medals in this summer's VIII Gay Games Cologne 2010. Open to everyone, the Gay Games are one of the world's largest amateur athletic events, attracting some 10,000 participants from more than 70 countries.

Ralf Schloesser won a gold medal in the team Table Tennis competition and a bronze in A-class mixed, Karina Knebel won a silver medal in women's Water Polo, and Jan Hoffman won a silver medal in singles Tennis. To demonstrate the international side of the Games, Jan had to beat an Australian, two Englishmen, two Americans and one Spaniard, before losing to German Sebastain Grochla in the final.

"The standard of player at the Gay Games was very high and I was delighted to be able to win the silver medal," said Jan. "However, gold would have been even better and my thoughts have already turned to the next Gay Games in Cleveland, USA, in 2014."

The motto of the Games is “Be part of it!” and a ONE Ford team from Ford Bank and Ford Werke Germany volunteered to support the event. Employees used their annual 16 hours of community involvement to support the games. In total 65 Ford volunteers covered over 160 shifts at the Games, and Ford lent the Games six cars for the duration of the event.
