Diver Jenny's Olympic boost
5:30pm Friday 3rd February 2012 in Sport By Sports Desk
Jenny Cowen is having her entry fees, travel and accommodation costs paid for by sponsors EZE Group
One of West Yorkshire’s Olympic hopefuls is a step closer to her dream of competing at the London 2012 Games after securing a major sponsorship deal.
Diver Jenny Cowen, from Cross Roads, near Keighley, is to use the cash – provided by leisure and entertainment specialists EZE Group – to pay competition entry fees, travel and accommodation costs, and improve her chances of making Team GB for the Olympics.
The 20-year-old, who trains and dives for City of Leeds Diving Club, is close to the Olympic squad after a string of impressive performances, and believes the link-up with EZE Group will help her make the improvements she needs to qualify.
Her mum Helen said: “The sponsorship will help enormously as Jenny has to train during the day and work most evenings to cover her costs.
“It will help her cut her working hours and get more rest.”
