Welcome to our 2004 Annual Report

Tell me where you come from and I’ll tell you it doesn’t matter. Your origins do not stand in the way of your success. If you fight for it. Train for it. Believe in yourself. And develop your talent. Against all odds, all prejudice, and all people who want to tell you where your limits are. Impossible Is Nothing. A lanky girl from a single-parent home becomes the best tennis player in the world. An Algerian immigrant’s son, who grew up in a grim suburb of Marseille, becomes the world’s best football player. And a small three-man operation producing shoes in rural Germany becomes one of the most successful companies in the sporting goods industry. A Group determined to become the industry leader: adidas-Salomon. Impossible Is Nothing
