USANA Applauds USA Luge Athletes On World Championship Performances

SALT LAKE CITY – (BUSINESS WIRE) – February 9, 2009 – USANA Health Sciences, Inc., a proud supporter and the official health supplement supplier of USA Luge, would like to congratulate the many athletes who represented their country at the Lake Placid 2009 FIL Luge World Championships held February 1-8, 2009.

USANA is proud to be associated with such world-class athletes and applauds the following competitors on their award-winning performances:

Erin Hamlin, who took 12th at the 2006 Torino Olympic Winter games, became the first non-German to win a World title in 16 years. The gold medal also made Hamlin the first-ever American women's singles athlete to win a World title.

USA Doubles Team Mark Grimmette and Brian Martin, two-time Olympic medalists, won their sixth-career World bronze medal.

“Thanks to USANA’s support, along with their tested and safe nutritional supplements I was able to train hard and recover quickly in preparation for the World Championships,” Hamlin said. “It was nice to finally end the German winning streak, especially at home in front of friends and family.”

USANA announced its partnership with USA Luge in May 2008, introducing USANA's unmatched nutritional products backed by an athlete guarantee of purity from any substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
