Nashville, Tennessee, USA - Chocolate Graphics International USA announces that its parent company, Chocolate Graphics International PTY Ltd. (Queensland, Australia) has signed as the primary corporate sponsor for Australian world champion triathlete Emma Snowsill. "Emma's perseverance, performance and pursuit of excellence are a perfect fit with the Chocolate Graphics International business philosophy," said CEO and President John Taylor. "Our company is proud to sponsor Emma, a fellow Queenslander, and we are very excited about the potential increased recognition this relationship may bring to both parties."

Snowsill, who will compete in the Life Time Fitness Triathlon in Lake Nokomis, Minnesota on July 15, is a multiple triathlon winner. To date in 2006, Snowsill, 25, placed first in the ITU World Cup held in Richards Bay, South Africa June 11, 2006; the Commonwealth Games Triathlon in Melbourne; and in the ITU Oceania Cup Hobart in Tasmania. In 2005, she won multiple triathlon events, including the ITU World Championship in Japan, the ITU World Cup Edmonton, and the Greater London Triathlon, the world's second-largest triathlon event.

Based in Australia's Gold Coast, Snowsill's training typically consumes six hours daily at a surf beach or Olympic pool for swimming, flat sugar cane fields or steep rain forest roads for biking, and a variety of trails for running. Snowsill competes in events sanctioned by the International Triathlon Union: governed, Olympic distance, elite women's World Cup series events consisting of a 1.5K swim, 10K bike, and 10K run. She also competes in non-drafting 'Ironman' format events as part of her long-term strategic training goals. Snowsill is committed to becoming the very bestmulti-discipline triathlete that she can be.

Chocolate Graphics North America Director Carol Webster had the privilege of meeting Snowsill at the annual Chocolate Graphics International convention held recently in Queensland, and said, "Emma personifies the focus, dedication and integrity that our company embraces. We are thrilled at the opportunity to sponsor a truly world-class athlete and work together toward our respective goals."
