The company – one of the world's leading business services firms who are a Tier Two London 2012 sponsor – has agreed to extend its official support of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) until 2020.

The two organisations originally joined forces three years ago.

Scott Blackmun, chief executive of USOC, commented: "This renewal is very good news for the US Olympic and Paralympic teams.

"From the beginning of our relationship in 2009, Deloitte has been instrumental in our mission to enable America's athletes to realise their Olympic and Paralympic dreams.

"As a partner and a trusted advisor, Deloitte has worked tirelessly to help us set long-term strategy, operate more efficiently and aid us in our mission of best serving Team USA athletes."

Apolo Anton Ohno (pictured, in centre), an eight-times Winter Olympic short-track speed skating medallist, added: "The culture at Deloitte is unique, positive and contagious, and I am happy to be a part of this team."

Joe Echevarria, chief executive of Deloitte LLP: "Olympic and Paralympic athletes embody the highest ideals of competitive performance integrity, talent, drive and commitment to quality – the same qualities Deloitte prides itself on."

"It is an honour to be able to participate in the storied Olympic tradition, both from the sidelines as fans and side by side as a sponsor providing professional services to the USOC and supporting its athletes."
