– McDonald’s has ended its longtime Olympic sponsorship dating back to 1976, the International Olympic Committee announced yesterday.

The US fast food giant has supported the Olympics since the Montreal Games and although the split takes place with immediate effect they will continue to be a sponsor at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

The governing body said it had “no immediate plans’’ to appoint a direct replacement. – AFP
