Attending the Olympic Games to represent your country in your chosen sport is a great honor, but athletes often have to rely on sponsorship deals to make a living.
However, a promotion by the Malaysian arm of Chinese automaker Chery will ensure that successful candidates will not have to worry about transportation back home.

It may have taken more than a week, but the first athletes to benefit from the program won the country’s first medals at the Olympics over the weekend.
Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik won bronze in the men’s doubles, repeating their feat in Tokyo three years ago. They will each be the owners of a Tiggo 7 Pro when they return to Malaysia from France.
Malaysia has yet to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games, although the country’s first athlete to win the top prize seems to have added motivation to continue achieving this sporting feat.
Toyota remains the official car supplier for the Games, nearly a quarter of a decade after Holden held the role at the Sydney 2000 Games.
