“Our connect to the Olympics goes back four years. When Great Britain won the bid to host the London Games in Singapore, we were chosen to be a part of the Olympics legacy programme, called International Inspiration, which promotes sport in five countries. We were the grassroots partners, delivering our mentoring curriculum using sports to 1,50,000 children across India’s poorest neighbourhoods,” shares Spacie about how the Olympic connect became a reality for Magic Bus. As part of this partnership, it was suggested that he represent the organisation in the spirit of the Olympics.
