And it was a perfect fit and the USA Olympic Committee has accepted and we announced that we would be sponsoring USA Olympic team in London 2012."

Chobani has grown over the past seven year to eventually become the yogurt that's naturally powering Team USA. Ulukaya added, "We felt that this is the perfect time.
