Victoria lights up the Olympic stadium
Victoria took time out from her preparations for the Games this summer to light up the Olympic stadium on behalf of EDF Energy, courtesy of a stunning blue wire dress.
Victoria looked electric in her EDF cable dress
Victoria is the ambassador for Team Green Britain, a movement founded by EDF Energy to help people work together to tackle climate change. To demonstrate this commitment to a low carbon future, EDF – the official electricity supplier of the London 2012 Games – announced that the electricity it will supply for the Games will be matched by equivalent amounts of electricity backed by nuclear and renewable sources.
Away from modelling electricity cables, Victoria is now in the final few months of training as she bids to defend her Olympic sprint title, which she won so convincingly in Beijing in 2008.
She warmed up for London in some style earlier this month, by winning her sixth world sprint gold at the UCI World Track Championships in Melbourne, Australia. Victoria beat her fierce rival and home favourite Anna Meares in the semi-final before defeating Lithuanian Simona Krupeckaite 2-0 in the final.
