BRUSSELS, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 9th, 3PM local time, the Belgian Olympic committee held a press conference in Brussels to announce their strategic partnership with Chinese sports brand, Peak.

We believe that our full cooperation with Peak will have an immeasurable role in promoting sports in Belgium and we have a reason to believe that with the Peak's dynamic support, Belgian players will be more motivated to compete and climb to their PEAK."
