SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA - News), a worldwide leader in science-based nutritional supplements, announced today it has signed a two-year agreement to be the official supplement supplier of the Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating Team.
The team, which includes decorated skater Jon Eley, is gaining more recognition as it prepares for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. Eley has won two World Cup silver medals this season and is ranked third in the world in the 500m event. In 2008, the men’s relay team earned a bronze medal at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships and a silver medal at the Short Track Speed Skating European Championships.
"The National Ice Skating Association (NISA) welcomes this exciting partnership between Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating and USANA,” said NISA General Secretary Keith Horton. “USANA is our first major sponsor in a great number of years, and we are pleased to be associated with such a prestigious and internationally renowned company. This partnership will benefit the athletes and raise the profile of not only NISA but USANA as well."
USANA manufactures a wide variety of nutritional products that are trusted by some of the world’s best athletes. USANA voluntarily follows current Good Manufacturing Practices based on pharmaceutical models for its quality assurance program, meaning its nutritional supplements are treated with the same care that goes into manufacturing pharmaceutical products. Six USANA nutritional supplements recently received independent certification through NSF International's Certified for Sport(TM) program.
"USANA is proud to be partnering with Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating and the premier athletes that make up this talented team," said USANA CEO Dave Wentz. "It is important that these world-class athletes have access to high-quality nutritionals they can trust. We wish them all the best at the upcoming British Championships."
