Comcast celebrated the start of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 by welcoming four-time Olympian Lauryn Williams to speak virtually at an event at the Homestead, PA Xfinity Store.
Lauryn, a Beaver County native, shared her journey as a world-class track and field and bobsled athlete and spoke to the power of community in Pittsburgh – the city that supported and embraced her during both her best and toughest moments.
Now a financial planner, podcaster, volunteer, and motivational speaker who loves to travel, Lauryn knows firsthand the importance of staying connected.
“Whether it’s staying in touch with my family and friends or being able to watch the Games – no matter where I am – the power of a reliable connection is critical to every aspect of my personal and professional life,” Lauryn said.
During the event, local Comcast team members shared a look at the company’s incredible viewing experience for The Olympic Games, helping viewers get ready to get the most out of the Games.
