Paris, France, August 1, 2024: Kazakhstan athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics are being fueled by a famous chocolate made in the country and which has been taken to the food capital of the world, Paris.

 

The National Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan and the Bayan Sulu confectionery factory have formed a unique collaboration. As part of this partnership, a limited batch of the famous Bayan Sulu chocolate bars were made for the Paris Olympics.

 

The packaging features sports themes created especially for the Paris Games.

 

“For us, it is important not only to support our athletes at all major competitions but also to showcase our country’s culture and hospitality to the world,” said Zhanar Utesheva, Kazakhstan NOC Secretary General.

 

“I am confident that our collaboration with Bayan Sulu will impact not only the promotion of the national brand on the international stage but also strengthen friendly ties with other countries. After all, the Olympic Games are, above all, a unifying global platform,” Utesheva added.

 

A special batch of the ‘Olympic’ chocolates have accompanied the Kazakh athletes to Paris, and they have been sharing it with athletes from other countries according to the NOC.
