NEW YORK - March 3, 2008 - Johnson & Johnson, NBC Olympics and iVillage today launched The Family Room presented by Johnson & Johnson, a multimedia experience which over the next five months will follow the journey of eight athletes and their families as they prepare to qualify for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, which begin August 8. The centerpiece of The Family Room site is a series of weekly webisodes offering viewers a compelling glimpse into the lives of Olympic hopefuls through both their own personal perspectives and those of the families surrounding and supporting them. The Family Room can be viewed at www.iVillage.com/familyroom.

The Family Room focuses on Tina Ellertson (Soccer); twin brothers Paul & Morgan Hamm (Gymnastics); Reese Hoffa (Track & Field); Chellsie Memmel (Gymnastics); siblings Steve & Katie Mocco (Wrestling & Judo); and Lauryn Williams (Track & Field).

The premier webisode on March 2 introduces viewers to the unique family dynamics of the athletes featured in The Family Room while subsequent segments appearing every Sunday will feature a specific U.S. Olympic hopeful until the Olympic Games in Beijing. The five-to-seven-minute documentary-style shorts will include footage and interviews captured by NBC Olympics as well as compelling footage from the athletes and their families via handheld cameras.
