Team Galaxy Gears Up for the Olympic Games Paris 2024

The sun is shining and the days are long. It’s summer and there’s so much to look forward to! From hanging out at the beach to road trips, block parties to barbecues – summertime is loaded with plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy yourself.

Plus, this summer packs an extra punch with the launch of Samsung’s latest cutting-edge innovations at Galaxy Unpacked and the Olympic Games – with both events taking place in Paris. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will even play a special role in the Olympic Games — and you won’t want to miss it.

With the Opening Ceremony coming soon, alongside the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch7, Galaxy Buds3 series, and the highly anticipated Galaxy Ring, a lot of people are feeling the excitement! Including our Team Galaxy— so, we spoke with a few members to hear what they’re most looking forward to.

Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier, a top professional mixed martial arts fighter, shared that he uses his Galaxy ecosystem when he trains or goes on runs, helping him keep track of his progress – so he can’t wait to use all the new updates. But being a professional fighter isn’t the only thing Dustin does or is known for, he’s a father first. He’s also a philanthropist and a business owner. And with all that on his plate, making time to enjoy the Olympics with his family is super important to him.

“I have a lot of exciting projects coming up, but I really enjoy spending time with my family. I can’t wait to relax and watch gymnastics with my daughter! She’s really into that right now. I’m looking forward to having that quality time with her.”

Javon “Wanna” Walton, known for his role on hit show Euphoria, is also excited to watch Olympics gymnastics and boxing. Wanna, who got his start as one of America’s youngest elite youth boxers at the age of four, went on to become a multi-time junior regional champion and a two-time national silver medalist… and even now, he’s keeping up that energy.

Wanna is preparing for his next fight and with long days of training, he’s looking forward to relaxing while tuning in to the games this summer. He was also a gymnast for a long time and explained that his athletic history is why gymnastics and boxing are some of his favorite sports to watch.

Another of Wanna’s favorite things? His Galaxy Z Flip5! “I love the nostalgic feeling of flip phones and I can’t wait to use the newest Galaxy Z Flip6!”

Demi Bagby, an athlete and business entrepreneur who creates content to inspire people to live life fully, noticed some interesting overlap between the Olympics and Unpacked. “It feels like the gap between the technology available to professional athletes and the average person is closing. Especially when it comes to Samsung Galaxy wearable devices. I’m so excited to get acclimated with the new features and innovations.”

Demi went on to explain that, “When I think about health, fitness, and training – the most important variable is sleep. And with Samsung’s technology, you can learn how to optimize your sleep cycle to be your most productive, efficient self. As a consumer, being able to purchase a Galaxy device that can help teach you how to be your best self every day is soooo EPIC! I can’t wait to show off the newest Samsung innovations!”
