The agreement will see Avanti support the athlete in this year's summer games and other events in future.
Avanti said the relationship "was inspired by shared values of resilience and a shared journey of transformation". The partnership is the latest in a series of athlete sponsorships by Avanti, as part of a broader mission to connect people, communities and continents to a world of opportunity.
Nielson will also support on some of Avanti’s projects that she feels align with her goals and aspirations.
she said: “This partnership is particularly important to me because it celebrates what I love about being an athelete – determination, making an impact and above all, resilience. This assistance will help me fund my coach to both coach me and travel with me to my competitions, allow me to be treated by one of the best physios in the world and generally help me become the athlete I want to be."
Avanti CEO Kyle Whitehill,added: “The past year has been a challenge for everyone but we’ve emerged stronger than ever before and that’s thanks to the hard work and positivity of every person in our business. We recognised those same qualities in Laviai and are really pleased to be working with her across such a broad range of activities this year. We are honoured that she will be sharing the formula for her success with us.”
