Netfirms Sponsors Canadian Medal Hopeful

Netfirms is pleased to sponsor Canadian Trampolinist Karen Cockburn

Netfirms Inc. (http://www.netfirms.ca/) a world leader in domain registration and web hosting technology today announced sponsorship of Canadian gold medal hopeful Karen Cockburn. Every day Netfirms technology empowers over 1.2 million websites world-wide; helping thousands of individuals and businesses, like Karen (http://www.karencockburn.ca), realize their online dreams.

A Toronto born gymnast, Karen started out her career as a diver and only used the trampoline to rehearse. After learning that the trampoline was a competitive sport Karen made the switch. In 1995, Karen injured her knee to the point where she needed reconstructive surgery and had to miss a years worth of training and competitions. Up until 1999 she had to compete with a brace on her knee. Despite the challenges that Karen has faced she still manages to give 110% and never faults on her determination to win.

“Netfirms made the dream of having my own personal website a reality. From domain registration to hosting, everything was done quickly and easily within minutes.” – Karen Cockburn, Canadian Athlete.

Touted as the best Canadian thing to happen to gymnastics, Karen has done nothing to disprove this theory. She is an eight time Canadian champion, a World Champion in women’s trampoline and the reigning World Cup Synchronized Trampoline Co-Champion. With already a summer games bronze medal in 2000 and silver medal in 2004, Netfirms is proud to help Karen achieve her dream of winning gold in the 2008 summer games.

“As a technology leader in Canada, we want to support and empower our Canadian athletes from start to finish, be it in competitive sport or on-line.” – Thomas Savundra, President, Netfirms Inc.
