ACRISURE ANNOUNCES A NEW PARTNERSHIP AS THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF SANDA DELIJA, A CROATIAN FREEDIVER RAISED IN TRIESTE WHO HOLDS THE WORLD RECORD IN FEMALE FREEDIVING.
August 8, 2023
Acrisure Italia S.p.A. backs Croatian freediver Sanda Delija brought up in Trieste, who achieved the world record in female freediving in May 2023.
At just 33 years old, Sanda Delija holds 12 national freediving records and two bronze medals in the World Outdoor Championships. She is among the few women (less than 10 in the world) who have exceeded a depth of 100 meters in freediving. In the Caribbean Sea surrounding the island of Domenica, Sanda descended to 101 meters during her preparation. Subsequently in Sharm el Sheikh at the Freediving Cup competition in May 2023, the athlete set a new women's world record in the Free Immersion (FIM) discipline with a descent of 98 meters (321.5ft) with a duration of 3:58 minutes.
The partnership will see the Acrisure brand logo on the wetsuit and fins of the record holding athlete, for every competition and race scheduled until the end of next year.
Acrisure, always active in sports sponsorships, supports professionalism and talent of all kinds. The choice to support a female athlete also represents the desire to promote its commitment and clear contributions to the development of an inclusive sport, in which athletes embody a symbol of female empowerment and leadership in the world of sport.
“We are very proud to support Sanda in her future competitions and in her journey towards the next World Championships in Roatán (Honduras) and Limassol (Cyprus). We very much believe in the values that unite us. We see in Sanda Delija commitment, perseverance and success, which combine perfectly with the passion, work methodology and spirit of belonging that she represents for us" comments Stefano Sardara, CEO of Acrisure Italia S.p.A. “As a Benefit Corporation, the company gives great importance to sport at all its levels. Every sporting initiative has its own value and is a great tool for educating respect and personal determination. Furthermore, we are convinced that the talent which underlies all professionalism does not have a gender - effective equality between men and women is achieved when the context is capable of recognizing and creating the conditions for leadership to emerge in all its forms and excellence".
“Overcoming the magic barrier of 100 meters means, for me, being able to set my first world record, marking the beginning of a new chapter for my career as an athlete. There have been years of training, sacrifices, dedication, perseverance and resilience to achieve this result. I am aware that reaching this greatly-awaited goal is only the beginning of a long road ahead, made up of new goals to reach. Limits exist in the souls of those who are short on dreams and I dream big." says Sanda Delija. “I am extremely pleased to have an excellent support like Acrisure by my side, which has decided to place its trust in me and stand by me in the growth and pursuit of my dreams to achieve maximum results.”
