Prague, 1 August 2016 - In partnership with Samsung, T-Mobile has prepared for sports fans an exclusive summer competition to win 340 handsets as part of the operator’s 2016 Summer Olympics application. During the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, i.e. from 5 August to 21 August 2016 (17 days), participants will have a chance to win 20 Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) handsets every day. However, another handset – a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge – will be added to the competition for every gold medal won by the Czech team. T-Mobile customers who are sports fans thus have a big chance to win.

“We are happy to enable fans to enjoy every fantastic experience that the most watched sporting event of the year brings and to make life more pleasant for our customers with an exclusive competition to win attractive handsets,” says Jan Stanko, Vice President Brand and Marketing Communication at T-Mobile.

The mechanics of the competition, tested in previous years, remain the same – every day, three questions revolving around the Summer Olympics theme will be displayed to the contestants in the application at random times. The participant who is the fastest to correctly respond to the whole set of the questions in a given day will win a handset. Only T-Mobile customers can take part in the competition; winners will be notified by e-mail.

The 2016 Summer Olympics application, which was developed in cooperation with the Czech Olympic Committee, ranked first in the New Application of the Year category in the 2016 Mobile Application Awards announced in June this year. The application features complete news coverage, details of individual disciplines, programme of the 2016 Summer Olympics, results, exclusive interviews, a video gallery, the latest news from the venue (online text coverage), competitions, information about the members of the Czech Olympic Team, and other unique content. It can be downloaded free of charge by all fans, regardless of their operator. It is available for the iOS and Android operating system.
