Nutrilite-sponsored athlete Sanya Richards set a season-best time in the 400-meters at the Weltklasse Golden League meet in Zurich, Switzerland today. This means that she’s still in the race for the Golden League’s million-dollar jackpot! (The million-dollar jackpot will be split among all the athletes who win their selected event in all six Golden League meets.)


In an interview after the race, Sanya said “that’s my number one goal of the season.” There are two more races to go in the Golden League, with meets in Brussels and Berlin.


Sanya won in 49.36 seconds on the new Letzigrund track, which organizers billed as “the fastest in the world.”


“I expected a fast race because I wanted to attack my personal best,” said Sanya, whose personal best is 48.70. “Entering the final straight, I didn't know they were so far behind. It was my world championships today.”

About Melissa Charles

Melissa Charles, Andy Gamm and Heidi Mack are Brand Managers in Health Marketing and writes The Team Nutrilite Blog, an inside look at Nutrilite-sponsored athletes and events. I'm a southern girl at heart. I grew up in North Carolina (so don't be surprised if ya see a ya'll or two from me) as an Air Force brat, and I moved to Michigan when my father retired from the military. I'm a little Legally Blonde, in the sense that I adore all things pink and I'm the proud owner of two super cute lil' chihuahuas. I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but after a year of pre-med (and blacking out while observing a few surgeries) I decided I'd be better off if I focused my creative energies to the marketing/communications side of Health. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor's degree in Advertising/Public Relations, and a Master's degree in Communications. Over the course of my five years with Quixtar, I've worked in Public Relations, Employee Communications, and now Health Marketing. -More
