BEIJING: China's largest computer firm, Legend Group, said on Friday its Lenovo PC brand had won the country's first ever bid to become an official sponsor of the Olympic Games.

The deal will make Lenovo the exclusive computing technology equipment and service provider for the 2006 Turin winter and 2008 Beijing summer Olympic Games, the company said in a statement ahead of a news conference in Beijing.

It also makes it the first domestic firm to become a major Olympics sponsor, joining Coca-Cola, Kodak, McDonald's, Visa, Panasonic, Samsung, Swatch, John Hancock and General Electric. --AFP
