Mike Lee Back in the Ring

We’re still talking about Mike Lee’s bout in early June. You remember, the one where he earned a decision over Eliseo Durazo to remain undefeated.

Well, the USANA-sponsored boxer and Subway star is scheduled to get back in the ring. This time he’ll be fighting on August 4 at Texas Station in Las Vegas.

For tickets, call (630) 400-6380. Go Team Lee!

Wimbledon 2012

If you missed Wimbledon, you missed Serena Williams at her best. Serena captured her 5th Wimbledon singles title, tying her sister, Venus, who has also won 5 at Wimbledon. It marked Serena’s 14th grand slam singles title.

Our USANA brand ambassadors played some hard-fought matches.

Kim Clijsters, coming off of injury, made it to the fourth round before losing to Angelique Kerber. Kim has told the media that this would be her last Wimbledon. Kim has compiled an impressive résumé since she started playing on the WTA in 1998. She is now looking forward to the Summer Games and competing for Belgium, and then the U.S. Open at the end of August.

Zheng Jie, seeded 25th at Wimbledon, played really well until she faced eventual-champ Serena in the third round.

Zheng took her to three sets, but couldn’t overcome Serena’s strong serve. Zheng will be competing for China — and Team USANA — in the Summer Games.

Liezel Huber teamed up with Lisa Raymond and came into Wimbledon ranked No. 1 in doubles. They faced some early scares but made it to the semifinals where they faced Serena and Venus Williams. They won the first set before dropping the next two. Serena and Venus went on to win the title. Liezel will be representing the United States in doubles in London.

    Malaysia hero, Lee Chong Wei, lost in the final. But we knew he gave his all in the match against China’s Lin Dan. We still considered him a true winner. This is one epic match all badminton lovers will remember the runner-up. Thanks for the silver.
