USANA Athletes: 4 Titles, 12 Medals, 1 Weekend
USANA provides high-quality nutritional supplements to more than 600 world-class athletes, giving them the extra boost they need to stay on top of their game and be the best in their respective sports. Fact. There’s not much to dispute there.
But this past weekend was a testament of what Team USANA is really made of and how incredible each of our sponsored athletes truly are. In fact, Team USANA was nearly unstoppable over the weekend as 10 individual USANA athletes won more than 15 titles and/or medals, in five different sports, in essentially, two days.
600-plus athletes can’t be wrong. They trust USANA to meet their personal nutrition needs to keep them at their optimal levels. And excuse the cliché, but the proof is clearly in USANA’s products.
Boxing
Timothy Bradley (USA) beat Juan Manuel Marquez (MEX) in a split decision to remain WBO Welterweight Champion of the World. During a post-bout interview the undefeated champ thanked his sponsors, including you guessed it, USANA and proudly displayed a USANA patch in his shorts during the fight.
Tennis
Australia’s Sam Stosur took the HP Open by storm, winning her fifth career WTA title and second of the season at the International-event held in Osaka, Japan. The Aussie is the first player to win the event more than once, having also won in 2009, and even made it to the final round of doubles play with partner Zhang Shuai (CHN).
