OMEGA Ambassadors & World Champs Meet - Michael Schumacher and Ian Thorpe

March 7, 2005 Formula One driver Michael Schumacher and swimmer Ian Thorpe presented each other with timepieces yesterday, in one of those rare moments where masters of different sports get together and recognise each other's achievements thanks to a common sponsor - in this case Omega. Omega employs a number of ambassadors including golfers Sergio Garcia and Ernie Els, actor Piece Brosnan (aka James Bond), supermodels Cindy Crawford and the highly strategic Pan Asian supermodel Qi Qi, swimmers Alexander Popov and Michael Phelps, tennis model Anna Kournikova, yachting personalities Ellen MacArthur and Dean Barker, big wave surfer Gerry Lopez, pop idol Coco Lee and astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan (the last man to have set foot on the moon), though the brightest stars on the books are undoubtedly Schumacher and Thorpe.
